Dear Greenbrook Member,

Volunteers play a vital role in preserving, maintaining and enhancing what the Sanctuary has to offer. 
There are many ways to get involved, including:
•    Serving on the Palisades Nature Association Council
•    Instructing a series of Tai Chi or Yoga classes
•    Light physical tasks: Leaf and litter clean-ups, perimeter fence inspections, annual bird                counts
•    Hands-on conservation efforts: Bog and vernal pool cleanups, removal of invasive species
•    Clerical assistance: Membership mailings, quarterly renewals, new key distribution, website        content development.
For those who are passionate about shaping the future of the Sanctuary, I encourage you to consider serving on the Administrative Council. The Council meets five times a year to oversee the Sanctuary’s finances, programming, and major projects—such as the Little Brook restoration featured in this newsletter. Council members also help coordinate Visitor Days in spring and fall, as well as the annual meeting in October.
We welcome anyone eager to contribute to the Sanctuary’s future, and Council vacancies are currently available. We are especially looking for individuals with experience in outreach, publicity, marketing, and fundraising. Additionally, if you have expertise in specialized areas—such as photography, Tai Chi instruction, or event planning—we would love to have you lead engaging programs for our community.
If you’re interested, please reach out to Membership Chair Mike Gallo at greenbrooksanctuary@gmail.com or contact me at c.connolly7@verizon.net. We’d be happy to answer any questions—so don’t hesitate. Your involvement makes a difference and is greatly appreciated!
