Nature Conservancy of Canada: Conservation Volunteers

The Nature Conservancy of Canada's (NCC's) Conservation Volunteers program engages Canadians of all ages in the protection of our country's species and natural habitats. It provides a meaningful, hands-on educational experience in ecologically significant natural areas. Our events are carefully designed to make sure your volunteer time is directed to important conservation activities.

NCC's projects offer a rewarding and informative experience.

By volunteering your time, you help us accomplish our on-the-ground land management and restoration goals.

By volunteering with NCC you can:

  • explore unique habitats;
  • observe rare species; and
  • learn from knowledgeable professionals while contributing to important conservation work.

What kinds of activities can I join?

From butterfly and bird inventories to cleaning up beaches and removing invasive species, there are a variety of events available to suit your interests and NCC's conservation priorities.
