Hello ,
Welcome to the December edition of our pilot volunteer opportunity board! We are striving to match people who want to volunteer with environmental organizations that are seeking volunteers. The postings are from Ontario Nature and the 150 member groups that form our Nature Network.
You can see past posting lists on our volunteer webpage.
The volunteer newsletter is a one-year pilot project and we are seeking feedback on how it has been going. If you have any comments or suggestions, please email them to naturenetwork@ontarionature.org.
