Hello ,
Welcome to the third edition of our pilot volunteer opportunity board! We are striving to match people who want to volunteer with environmental organizations seeking volunteers. The postings are from Ontario Nature and the 150 member groups that form our Nature Network.
Thank you for signing up to receive volunteer opportunities from Ontario Nature. We are grateful for your interest in conservation. We will send these emails at the beginning of each month and then determine whether to continue in the summer based on uptake.
You can see past posting lists on our volunteer webpage.
