Volunteer Opportunities
GBCLA needs volunteers. There are many attractive volunteer opportunities with the Association, and this photo shows volunteers doing important work around the lakes.
A few examples are the LakeViews newsletter, website, walleye spawning and stocking, cottage safety fairs, lake buoys, and a wide range of educational information such as invasive species. There are no special qualifications or experience required. Just an interest in preserving and enhancing the natural environment of Bobs and Crow lakes.
What about the time commitment? There is no time commitment. We recommend you attend a Board meeting, in person or virtually, to see if there is something of interest.
