Openlands is an outstanding organization. The staff is very professional, engaging and friendly, which makes volunteering both very useful and really nice. The staff stay on top of the discoveries in the field, and run their organization really well. Openlands' mission is on point as our lands and urban forests are threatened by a growing population, and Openlands helps mitigate the human factor on our environment. Every town would benefit from having Openlands in town.
