Ranger Program

We Need TLGV Rangers. Become one today!

TLGV Rangers are trained volunteers who support the efforts of the organization by presenting information and conducting outreach programs for The Last Green Valley, Inc.  TLGV Rangers are essential to articulating the mission, delivering a message about the work, and recruiting new members for The Last Green Valley, Inc.

In conjunction with TLGV staff, Rangers deliver or assist in delivering presentations to local organizations and community groups.  Rangers also helped to staff TLGV information booths at regional or local community events, fairs and festivals.  Rangers may also have the opportunity to develop and deliver programs for TLGV Members and the general community, e.g. organizing a walk for Walktober or a specific monthly TLGV member-only program. 

Bill Reid, Director of Outreach Programs and Chief Ranger, trains and supervises TLGV Rangers. If you are interested in becoming a TLGV Ranger, please contact Bill Reid at 860-774-3300 or email: Bill@tlgv.org.  All rangers receive free training and background materials.  If you enjoy meeting people and you love The Last Green Valley (it’s where you live!), the TLGV Ranger Program is for you.
