The Public Timber Project

The challenge

The Public Timber Project runs volunteer cleanups and conservation events on public land. They needed a way to publish events, collect RSVPs online, and — critically — capture a legally sound volunteer waiver without shuffling paper at every event.

What we built

• A rugged, outdoorsy custom site to replace their WordPress build.
• An events system: staff create an event once and it appears on the site, with a toggle for volunteer sign-up events versus "come meet the team" appearances.
• Online RSVP with a built-in waiver e-signature that only asks returning volunteers to re-sign once a year or when the waiver changes.
• An admin dashboard for events, signed waivers, volunteers, and registrations — searchable and exportable.
• A night-before roster engine that compiles each event's signups and emergency contacts for quick reference.

The result

Paperless waivers, online RSVPs, and a single dashboard that turns event-day chaos into a simple checklist.
