We are looking for volunteers to help with our Ales on the Trails, 2023 event on Friday, June 9th! Ales on the Trails is one of our annual fundraisers for the Bubolz Nature Preserve, featuring a hike through the woods with stops for sampling beer, wine, and seltzers along the way. All proceeds from the event directly support our conservation and education efforts here at the preserve, and volunteering to help with the event is a great way to directly support the Bubolz Nature Preserve's mission. If you are interested in helping out, please sign-up for one of the roles outlined below - and see if you can grab a friend, family member, or co-worker to volunteer with you!

We still need around 3 volunteers for this event. Volunteers will be working closely with other volunteers and staff from the preserve, and are key to making the event a success. We'll provide guidance for each role, so no experience is necessary - just a positive, friendly attitude and a willingness to help out! See below for quick descriptions on the volunteer positions we are looking to fill.

This area is situated in the Caribbean lowlands, between Barbilla National Park, an Indian reserve, the village of San Miguel, and banana plantations, and has not been fully explored.

Our mission is to study the local biodiversity, identify threats, and implement sustainable measures that benefit both nature and humanity.

Volunteers can also assist with daily operational tasks and contribute their unique skills and experiences to the project.
