Angelo Skip Dellomo of Mays Landing has been active in his support of the conservation of the New Jersey Pine Lands throughout his life. Having authored two books on the history of the area, Angelo Dellomo is often asked by friends and family what they can do to help in conservation efforts. Being that this is the time of year when people are working on living up to their New Year\u2019s resolutions, Angelo Dellomo thought it would be the perfect time to discuss different ways people can get involved in conservation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Angelo Dellomo on the Importance of Personal Interest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Angelo Dellomo of Mays Landing credits his interest in the history of the Pinelands for fueling his desire to protect the land and the wildlife that calls it home. Just like with any other resolution, it is much easier to follow through on a goal when a person genuinely believes in the cause they are supporting. For Angelo Dellomo, it\u2019s the Pine Barrens. For others, it may be volunteering at a local animal shelter or utilizing professional talents to help a conservation group expand its reach on social media. There are so many different ways for people to help our planet. By identifying what talents or activities inspire an individual, they can then go on to leverage those interests for the greater good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s no shortage of organizations and causes that rely on the help of volunteers to reach their goals. Angelo Dellomo suggests that anyone looking to give back in 2023 and beyond does their research. When a particular group pulls at the heartstrings more than others, it probably means they are the proper fit. While giving back can be done in the short term Angelo Dellomo believes that people who start to support an organization often set on a path of support that will last a lifetime. The length of support provided makes it all the more important to find an organization that speaks to the individual interests and desires of an individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
