Hello *{{Informal Name}}*,
We’re excited to kick off the winter season at WRI with holiday parking and our upcoming Snowshoe trolls, both great opportunities to volunteer on weekends. As we wrap up another impactful year at WRI, we’re especially grateful for our volunteer community. December’s main need is holiday parking support, and we have even more volunteer dates coming in January and February. We can’t wait to have you join us this winter!

Saturday, December 13 (2 needed)

If you’re interested in helping, please sign up soon! We may also consider adding December 27–28 if enough volunteers are available.
Your support makes a big difference every year. Thank you for helping keep this beloved holiday tradition running smoothly! |

Join Our Snowshoe Stroll Volunteer Team! |
WRI is hosting a Snowshoe Stroll Volunteer Training on Saturday, December 13th, and we’d love for you to be part of our winter season. At this training, you’ll learn how our strolls run, what to expect in volunteer roles like Co-Leader or Sweep, and how to stay safe and comfortable on snowshoes. We provide snowshoes, poles, lunch, and hot chocolate—just bring warm layers and water! It’s a fun, supportive way to get ready for a meaningful volunteer opportunity that helps connect our community to the winter landscape.
Snowshoe Strolls take place Fridays and Saturdays in January and February at the Hatchery, and after the training you'll be able to choose the dates that work for you. Click the red button below to RSVP for the volunteer training on December 13th. If you can't attend the training but want to be involved, email Angela. We’d still love to have you join us!

We’re looking for volunteers to help with registration, kids’ activities, and snowshoe tours. Bilingual volunteers (English/Spanish) are especially appreciated as we welcome members of the Latino community to our campus, but anyone excited to lend a hand and share in the celebration is welcome!
If you’re interested in volunteering, please email Virginia. We’d love to have you join us for this joyful community event. More details on volunteer roles to come. |
