Join TLC staff and volunteers for a weekend of camping, trail work, invasive species removal, and more at our Ivy Payne Preserve near Palestine, Texas. There will be jobs for every ability; no experience required. Come for the day - Saturday, March 15 – or stay for the whole weekend. Volunteers will be provided a campsite and meals during the weekend.
We rely on our volunteers to help us keep the preserve beautiful and accessible for our spring and fall camping weekends, which are open to the public. We encourage volunteers to return with friends and family to relax and enjoy the preserve during our spring camping weekend.
