        materials back  to the land trust office .

      FLT Local Products Gift Baskets — we need a team of volunteers to organize a
        FLT Gift Basket to sell out of our storefront and our Exhibit Booth as a fundraiser. 
          This would be an ongoing activity to ensure we have a supply throughout the year.

I have special talents for which I can offer my volunteer services : (for example, I love to maintain websites, I’m good at marketing, I’m a birder, geologist or naturalist and I’d enjoy leading a hike….)
