Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
Saturday 12/13 and Sunday 1/18
The weather outside might be colder but we’re still working! Join us to help give the woods some TLC this winter when it is easy to identify invasive weeds and pick up any litter that the weather blows in. We are hosting clean ups on Saturday December 13th from 9 - 11am and on Sunday January 18th from 9 - 11am in honor of MLK Jr. We provide tools, work gloves and hand warmers! Bring along your own water/ snacks to keep you going! Email janet@saddlerswoods.org to register for either date. If you’re super zealous why not double down and join us for both?
Giving Tuesday & Year End Donation Drive
Help us reach $5,000 by 12/31
Help us raise critical funds for the upcoming year!
Are You Ready? Our year end donation drive launches on Giving Tuesday, December 2nd and continues through New Year’s Eve! Our goal is to raise $5,000 to help build back our rainy day fund and secure our ongoing projects in 2026.
We had some unexpected expenses come our way in 2025. Heavy storms knocked out our footbridge on the Doug Hefty trail which we replaced in time for the Enchanted Pumpkin Walk. Another storm event toppled trees in the stream and on cattle fencing, so we purchased more fence panels but will need to hire a contractor to remove debris dams in the stream. We also have our eye on a new mechanical method for the dreaded English ivy and very much want to bring back our favorite 4-legged volunteers to keep the weeds at bay! So before the clock strikes midnight on 12/31 please donate to help us build back our “rainy day” fund and pay for all our projects in 2026! Thank you!
