So much of what we do relies on people offering their time, skills, and passion. Whether you are a university student looking for real world practical experience, a retiree seeking to share your talents, or a local resident keen to give back to your community, Maplewood Flats provides a diverse and exciting range of volunteer opportunities.
Both the site and our organisation share a progressive approach to hands-on conservation work, public education, birding, ecological restoration, cultural programming, communications, and community engagement. Â We also provide volunteers with specialized training where necessary so that we all learn and grow, and ensure the best possible experience on site.
You must be a member of Wild Bird Trust of BC to volunteer. If you have further questions or for more information, send an email directly to volunteer@wildbirdtrust.org.
