Volunteer Opportunities

Andover Trails is run and staffed by volunteers. We encourage everyone who enjoys the town’s outdoor recreational resources to take responsibility to care for them. You can do this by picking up litter as you walk, removing downed branches or other light obstacles from the path, and reporting vandalism, large downed trees or other significant problems.
 

AVIS properties are maintained by a system of volunteer wardens and a Land Management Committee. To volunteer on an AVIS property, please see http://avisandover.org/wardens.html

Town Conservation properties are managed by the Conservation Department.  See https://andoverma.gov/159/Conservation-Commission for more information. Volunteers are needed in 2024 to work on trail maintenance and restoration teams at the Carmel Woods, Foster's Island, and Doyle Link reservations. Email [email protected] for more information and training dates. 


Other maintenance issues on Conservation properties may be reported to Conservation Land Manager Mike Murray at [email protected]
To apply to become a Conservation Steward of a particular reservation: click here for a mail-in application.


Problems with the Bay Circuit Trail, including missing or damaged trail signs may be reported to [email protected]

To help with Shawsheen Greenway clearing projects, the “Paddle Your Shawsheen” canoe and kayak rental program, or other events focusing on the Shawsheen River, email [email protected]


To help organize the 2024 Andover Scramble, the Bay Circuit Traverse, or maintenance of the marked 10 mile or 25 mile bike routes, please email
