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.
We also provide volunteers with specialized training where necessary so that we all learn and grow, and ensure the best possible experience on site.
Twice a year, we host volunteer orientation sessions where interested WBT members and individuals learn about the many activities at Maplewood Flats.
Email volunteer@wildbirdtrust.org to express interest in attending an orientation and volunteering!
