Volunteer Opportunities
Do you have free time and would like to volunteer in Fish Creek Provincial Park? The 2022 volunteer season is just around the corner, and we are looking for people to assist with various programs starting this spring. If you love chatting with community members, helping to host events, public speaking, or sharing historical or ecological information, you may be interested in our Family Nature Day and Park Tour programs. If you are looking to get outside and get your hands dirty, then you might like stewardship programs like invasive species management and restoration. One of the biggest environmental concerns in the park is invasive plant species and we need your help to locate and remove these plants, and to help minimize their impact on this park. You can also support biodiversity in Fish Creek through our restoration program by helping with pruning, staking, flagging, weeding, repairing fences, maintaining the stewardship vehicles, and so much more! The first step to becoming a volunteer is to create an account on our online volunteer system, MyImpactPage, and select your “program interests” so we can communicate when opportunities and training sessions are open for sign-up. We look forward to working with you to bring the Friends’ 2022 volunteer programs to life! For more information, please visit https://friendsoffishcreek.org/volunteering-basics.
