Volunteer: Buildings and Grounds volunteersWe have 80 acres with fields, woods, fenced in pastures, gardens, a horse barn, a shop, a storage building and campsites that all need attention throughout the summer season. The owners can't keep up with it all and could use skilled volunteers to keep everything in attractive and working order.

Clearly one person is not enough to keep up with it all, so many competent and energetic people are needed.

Experience preferred: Will train, and will appreciate people who bring experience and ambition to be part of a growing community of acceptance and support in an increasingly hostile and confusing world.
