Partners For Parks
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How far in advance can we schedule a project with the Conservancy?
As soon as you know that your group would like to participate in a Partners for Parks project, please give us a call to reserve a date. Dates book up quickly in “the popular months” of spring and fall. Preparation and planning can take several weeks.

What time of year are the projects held?
Projects can be scheduled anytime from mid April through mid November.

What day of the week are the Partners for Parks projects?
Our flexible scheduling allows for projects on weekdays and weekends.

How many volunteers can work at a project?
We can accommodate groups of 10 or more.

Where are the projects located?
We partner with land managers throughout Northern New Jersey. We strive to place volunteers in a park that is within their corporate “backyard” community.

What is the layout of the work site – how far do we have to walk to the site?
Each site is different and The Land Conservancy's Stewardship Director can answer these questions once the location is determined.

Are children allowed at the projects?
We request that they be 7 years old or older for safety reasons around the outdoor work sites, tools, etc.

Are dogs allowed at the projects?
Many of the sites do not allow dogs and, again, for the safety of the volunteers and the animals we discourage bringing any animals to the work sites.

Are alcoholic beverages allowed?
The sites at which we work do not allow alcohol.

Who do I contact if my group is interested in doing a Partners for Parks project?
Please contact Rosalie Lavinthal, Stewardship Director at (973) 541-1010 or rlavinthal@TLC-NJ.org
