2024 Community Programming Sponsorship:
Offer your business a unique way to maximize brand awareness while making an impact! Research shows consumers are more likely to choose businesses they feel good about supporting. Increase your brand loyalty by showing your customers you support the Watch Hill community. Taking a Community Programming Sponsorship will help the Conservancy defray costs and maintain the Chaplin B. Barnes Reading Room, our primary venue for public programming such as our flagship lecture series, Lanphear LIVE!. To learn more about this important opportunity, contact Barbara Axmacher at barbara@thewatchhillconservancy.org or click here to visit our Community Programming Sponsor page.

Volunteering: Horseshoe Crab Surveys – Napatree is a favorite spawning ground of these living fossils that as a species are over 400 million years old! During the high tides of the new and full moon during May, June and July, we will be out counting and tagging Horseshoe Crabs as they make their way to shore to lay eggs. Come experience this wonder of nature and learn about their importance as an indicator of the health of our oceans and as a critical food source to endangered shorebirds. Volunteers can participate in the Horseshoe Crab counts, recording data, and tagging animals. Please contact napatreenaturalist@gmail.com in the Spring for the dates and times of our surveys.
