The Mid-Atlantic Karst Conservancy has no paid staff and all work is
carried our by volunteers. One of the best ways to help the MAKC is by
contributing your time, energy, and expertise.
 | Help us by getting others to sign up as members,
contributors and sponsors. |
| Join us on one of our work project days. Planned projects include
cleanups of local caves & surrounding property, surveying, and work days
at our Bear, Billy
Clay Pit, Hall,
Harlansburg, Hesston,
and Trout Run Woods
Preserves. |
| Volunteer to be a board
member. We are always looking for new dedicated people to join our board of
directors. Board members must be strongly committed to our
conservation goals, be able to attend at least 3 of our 4 yearly board
meetings (held in various location, but primarily in western PA), and
willing to contribute a significant amount of their time for MAKC
activities. Board members are elected by our members and serve one to three
year terms. |
| Help out at the MAKC booth. For example, volunteers at OTR were
responsible for selling many of our raffle tickets and selling MAKC
merchandise. |
| Volunteer to work with us on fund raising, property acquisition, property
management, or other MAKC activities. We particularly need people with
experience in grant writing, public relations, marketing, sales, law, and
cave and karst sciences (geology, hydrology, and biology) , but the only
prerequisite is a desire to help out. |
| Contribute articles and pictures to our newsletter and web site. We
are particularly interested in showing the local caves and karst that we are
working to protect and in cave conservation efforts and approaches. |
To find out more on how you can volunteer, contact any of our board
members, visit out booth at caving events,
or send us email. |
