Volunteer

The Wicomico Environmental Trust is a community of volunteers. Our work depends on the passionate commitment of people determined to do their part--in whatever way reflects their interests and talents--to protect nature, improve environmental health, introduce children to the wonders of the natural world, overcome environmental inequities, and share the enjoyment of our rich natural heritage. Come join us! Become a WET volunteer here

Make Your Voice Heard

You can influence public officials to implement policies that protect public and environmental health for all residents. Write a letter, make a phone call, comment at a hearing, and tell your neighbors and friends about what is at stake and what they can do to help. Join WET's Advocacy and Public Policy Committee and be a vital part of WET's advocacy effort.

Protect Clean Water

The Wicomico River Creekwatchers program offers volunteers the opportunity to help protect clean water by participating in an objective, scientifically credible long-term project that monitors water quality in the Wicomico River, its tributaries, and ponds throughout Wicomico County. Learn more about the Creekwatchers program here and how you can get involved.

Plant a Tree or Garden

WET volunteers plant bald cypresses along the Riverwalk in downtown Salisbury, remove invasive wisteria at Pemberton Park, help to cultivate the Boundless Community Garden (next to the Chipman Center in Salisbury), plant native grasses, shrubs, trees, and wildflowers at a park in an underserved community, and mentor a Green Team of neighborhood young people to nurture the newly planted trees. If you'd like to be part of this effort, let us know here

Introduce a Child to Nature

Introduce a child to the wonders of nature! WET in partnership with Wicomico NAACP, aims to make access to the natural world more equitable while supporting the underserved community as they envision and transform their neighborhood park, Waterside Park. Join us as a volunteer to share your passion and ideas to help bring this vision to life! Contribute to the already thriving Youth Environmental Action Summit. Let’s inspire the next generation of environmental stewards together!
