Do you find yourself spending a lot of time outdoors? Do you live near Ulster County? Are you the type of person who likes to volunteer while being a part of something fun?

Saying yes to these questions could be your first step to becoming a volunteer at the Mohonk Preserve. I have always admired people whose lives are organized enough that they find time to give back to their community.

Mohonk Preserve's mission is to protect the northern Shawangunk Ridge. They want to inspire people to care for, enjoy, and explore the natural areas we have in the Hudson Valley.

If you don't have time to volunteer that's ok the Mohonk Preserve still wants you to be one of the people who enjoys the programs they offer year-round. The preserve offers hiking trails, biking trails, and cliffs to climb.
