Become a Force for Nature!
Supporting members and volunteers are the heart and soul of Friends of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve (FFRP). From the Board of Directors to the docents and organizers for guided walks and special events, from tree planters to Ranch weeders who remove invasive species, it takes everyone, working together, to protect and sustain the natural beauty of the Ranch. Some members and volunteers are new to town and want to connect with like-minded folks while other long-time Ranch visitors feel the desire to contribute to the Ranch’s maintenance. Either way, while working for a great cause, members and volunteers have fun and make lasting friendships.

Intersted in Board Service?
FFRP has a working board which means members have operational responsibilities. Each board member is expected to serve on at least one committee and contribute time to the organization. For example, some board members volunteer on the invasive plant removal, restoration, and trail programs. Some organize and oversee educational programs. Others direct finances, fundraising, and events. Board members average 100 hours of volunteer time per year, including attending board meetings. In addition, each board member must be a member in good standing of FFRP.
Board terms are three years long with the option to renew up to three times for a total of nine years of service. The board consists of 12 members and meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 4pm. Officers are the Chairperson, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. Members are covered by Directors and Officers Insurance. FFRP committees are Education, Executive, Finance, Marketing & Development, Nominating, and Ranch.
