Volunteer for Nature
What is Volunteer for Nature?
Ontario Nature’s Volunteer for Nature program connects ordinary people with extraordinary natural environments. Through this program, you can take an active role in protecting some of Ontario’s most unique and sensitive natural areas. Working alongside researchers, scientists, local experts and conservation-minded people of all ages, you can participate in wildlife surveys, native species restoration, habitat rehabilitation, trail construction, and other actions of vital importance to the environment.
No special skills are required – we will provide you with all the instruction and guidance you will need to make a difference for Ontario’s wild spaces and wild species. The Volunteer for Nature program is a unique way to contribute to a greener Ontario while learning new skills and developing a deeper appreciation of the natural world.

Who Should Volunteer for Nature?
Just about everyone! Our projects are aimed at being as accessible as possible for people of all ages. Work projects are a great way to protect the at risk and rare species you care about (such as the eastern massasauga rattlesnake, the Acadian flycatcher and others). They are also a great way to spend time with friends, learn about the species living in your own province, and gaining volunteer hours for school. As a plus, outdoor activity is proven to promote mental and physical well-being, enhance self-confidence, and decrease stress.
