Accessible Monthly Eco-Volunteer Gathering

Get Connected Icon Happens On Apr 25, 2026
Get Connected Icon 1pm-3pm

Description

Celebrate Earth Month with a day of service at Magazine Beach Park!

Spend your afternoon working on improving habitat quality and surveying wildlife as part of Mass Audubon’s Statewide Volunteer Day. Volunteers will form small groups who walk around the park categorizing the flora and fauna they find while picking up trash in the park.

  • Bring your own water bottle; light snacks will be provided.

  • This project is family-friendly – we'll have options for volunteers of all ages. Anyone 15 and younger will need to volunteer alongside a parent/guardian. 16–17-year-olds may volunteer independently and will need to bring a permission slip signed by a parent/guardian that will be emailed to you in advance.

  • There is limited parking at Magazine Beach Park, so please avoid driving if possible.

This volunteer opportunity will include one or more projects that are accessible and inclusive to volunteers with a broad range of abilities. For more detailed information on these projects, or to discuss any accommodations that would be helpful, please contact Paul at pkelley@massaudubon.org.

How to Register

To sign up to volunteer, click the “Respond” button. You can then sign in using your existing volunteer account with Mass Audubon, or, if this is your first time using the volunteer system, you will be prompted to create a new account before signing up. Make sure to click the Submit Opportunity Response button on the next page and look for the green banner – and an email - indicating you have completed the whole process.

Families or small groups can sign up by clicking “Respond as Group.” Only one person in the group will need to create a volunteer account: you will then create a name for the group, click the “Add Me” button to add yourself to the group, and use the “Add Volunteer” button to enter the first and last names of each additional group member. Finally, designate yourself as the group leader (look for the checkbox) and click Finish. Look for the green banner – and an email – indicating you have completed the whole process.
