Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Ecological Restoration Team
The easiest way to get involved is to join the
Metro Vancouver Ecological Restoration Team Meetup group. There, you'll find the latest stewardship volunteer opportunities at all regional parks.
If you'd like to volunteer your group, school or company for stewardship activities in a regional park, email
volunteer.info@metrovancouver.org or call 604-451-6606.
Beachkeepers
Learn new skills and gain hands-on experience in data collection, public education and marine stewardship at
təmtəmíxʷtən/Belcarra Regional Park. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and able to commit a minimum of 30 hours (during weekends) throughout the summer.
Nature events
From celebrating the return of spawning salmon to solving a nighttime mystery, events highlight seasonal phenomena in regional parks to deepen visitor understanding, appreciation and protection of the natural environment.
We're looking for enthusiastic, friendly and outgoing people to help connect visitors to nature by being a welcome tent host, delivering an activity with park interpreters or assisting with logistics along trails. You'll have fun, meet people, get great experience – all in a scenic regional park.
Visitor centre hosts
Want to share your passion for the plants and animals that make regional parks home? Being a volunteer visitor centre host is a great way to learn new skills, connect with like-minded folks and interact with park visitors. There are two seasonal opportunities:
- Lynn Headwaters Visitor Centre at Lynn Headwaters Regional Park in North Vancouver
Open from 11 am to 3 pm every Saturday from June 1 until mid-September.
-
Campbell Valley Nature House at Campbell Valley Regional Park in Langley
Open from 1 to 4 pm every Saturday, Sunday and holiday Monday from Victoria Day weekend until Labour Day weekend.
Park associations
Another way to get involved is through a park association – a non-profit group that works with regional parks staff on projects and activities ranging from habitat restoration to nature education to special events.
