Volunteer Opportunities - Volunteer For A Great Cause - Your Planet!

Central Lake Ontario Conservation is one of 36 conservation authorities across Ontario delivering a variety of programs to local communities to promote the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources in Durham Region.  We are a partnership organization and depend on many volunteers to assist us with the implementation of a variety of projects. 

We offer a range of volunteer experiences to families, high school students, retired professionals and people looking to create a healthier planet. Volunteer opportunities include conservation area management, photography, creek cleanups, trail construction and repair, tree planting and habitat creation, monitoring wildlife and water quality, community outreach at public events like Purple Woods Maple Syrup Festival and assistance with education programs like our Children’s Groundwater Festival. 

If you like people and the environment, enjoy working out doors and either know a little or a lot about nature, we need you.  We are hosting a number of community planting and habitat creation events in 2008 throughout Durham Region. What are you waiting for.  Get involved and be part of the conservation community!

If you don’t see anything in our listings that is of interest to you, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Annette MacDonald at 905-579-0411 ext 144 or fill out our on line  volunteer application form and we will keep your information on file for other volunteer opportunities more suitable to your needs and skill set.
