VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

THE OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE NEEDS YOU!

The Fremont Open Space Committee is a group of people who work together toward preserving
the natural resources, wildlife habitat, open spaces and rural character of our town.  Over the past few
years, the Committee has actively worked to acquire the Glen Oakes Conservation Area, and is trying to
promote public awareness of the importance of preserving open space.  We are looking for new people
to come and see what our committee is about and to encourage you to offer your ideas, talents
or knowledge.  We have many upcoming projects that are in need of volunteers, such as monitoring
programs for town forests, wildlife/bird/plant inventories; committee walks, showshoeing or cross country
skiing, wildlife viewing, and more.  If any of these things interest you, we would like to hear from you. 
You can contact the Open Space Committee by email at openspace@fremont.nh.gov or call one
of our co-chairs:  Janice O'Brien (679 5545) or Kenn Jones (679 5573).
