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. Each year we host a number of community planting and habitat creation events throughout Durham Region. What are you waiting for. Get involved and be part of the conservation community!
