AEGIS Volunteers Make an Impact

AEGIS chose to volunteer with TLCNJ for their annual Impact Day, and WOW! Their team’s energy was incredible. As many as 75 employees trekked out from their office in East Rutherford to South Branch Preserve in Mt. Olive to help our small stewardship team with weeding, mulching, and sprucing things up for the fall.

We welcomed the AEGIS team with an introduction to TLCNJ's history and mission, then they tackled the trails, the community garden, and the reforestation areas. Everyone recharged with lunch and then headed out for tours of the preserve with Dennis, our stewardship manager who's familiar with every tree and every bird in the region. There's always something new to learn!

Many of the volunteers hailed from more populated areas, so it was exciting to introduce them to The Land Conservancy's work and show them what makes South Branch Preserve so special. And we're tremendously grateful for their help in beautifying the land we love.

We accomplished so much together! Thank you, AEGIS!
