Volunteer Work Day + Hike at Unexpected Wildlife Refuge – Gloucester County
Join NJveg for a volunteer work day combined with a hike! We’ll be helping Unexpected Wildlife Refuge, a vegan-run non-profit safe place for wild animals and plants consisting of almost 800 acres. The Refuge has approximately 10 miles of trails to hike. It’s hunting season, so we’ll patrol the perimeter trails, ensuring there are no encroaching hunters, and perhaps perform some light trail maintenance. We highly recommend bringing a water bottle, bug spray, sunblock, work gloves, work boots, and clothes that can get dirty. Wear a bright (such as orange or yellow) shirt or jacket. Waterproof shoes are recommended if there’s been a lot of recent rain. Also, please be prepared for the possibility of ticks. If you’d like to donate, you can do so online.
Supervised children are welcome. Please sign up only if you are serious about attending and plan to attend for the full time. If anything comes up and you need to cancel, let us know ASAP, so that we may fill your spot. We’ve had a problem with last minute cancellations – don’t be that person! The specific address and directions will be provided privately to volunteers before the event.
Unexpected Rd, Newfield, NJ 08344
