The Sourland Conservancy is a very small nonprofit with a staff of just two-and-a-half. Our members and volunteers work hard to Save the Sourlands every day. Due to COVID restrictions, our very social Sourland community is continuing their important work, but many need to work alone. We would love to show them how much we love them by offering some virtual fun to entertain everyone and keep them connected to our community during this time of isolation. Can you help?
We would love to get folks safely outdoors if we can, and encourage folks to celebrate the important history and ecology of our region. Trivia night? Scavenger hunt? Happy hour? We'd LOVE to hear your creative ideas - and help implement them.
Our office is located in the heart of the Sourlands in Central New Jersey. Area residency is not required, but it would be a plus.

Description
The Sourland Conservancy carries out its mission to protect the Sourland region through educational programs and advocacy efforts. The Sourland region is a 90 square mile area of critical forest, grassland and wetland habitats that lies within parts of Hunterdon, Mercer and Somerset counties. It is an island of biodiversity in a sea of encroaching sprawl. Characterized by a fragile eological balance, the Sourland Mountain region face pressures that threaten to deplete and degrate the water and delicate ecology of the area. The region boasts the largest contiguous forest in Central NJ and is an essential stopover for Neotropical migrant songbirds. The Sourland Conservancy seeks to educate residents and visitors to the Sourlands about its ecological, historical and recreational value. The organization also advocates for municipal ordinances that support the protection and preservation of the Sourlands.
