Get involved
You can turn your love for nature into action. Whether you lend your time and skills, discover protected areas with your friends and family, or inspire others to get involved, every action can make a real difference for nature.
Make a difference by becoming a volunteer
Volunteer opportunities come up throughout the year and vary by province and season. When available, you might restore habitat, harvest native seeds, take part in species surveys or support other hands-on conservation activities. Visit our Events page to see current opportunities.

Even the smallest actions can have a big impact on nature. Discover simple ways to make a difference from the comfort of your own home.
Meet your nature neighbours
Birds, bees, even invasive weeds — nature is all around you. Snap photos, upload them to iNaturalist.ca and discover more about the plants and animals in your own backyard.
Be for the birds
Every spring, billions of songbirds return to Canada to raise their families, and your backyard could be the perfect place to land. Help these feathered travellers rest, refuel and nest by planting clusters of native trees and shrubs that provide food and habitat.
Take a stroll by the water
Did you know that spending time near water is scientifically proven to boost your well-being and lower stress levels? Visit a local wetland or go for a walk alongside a lake or river. Inspire others to do the same by sharing your experience.
Leave the leaves
Help small animals survive the winter by leaving fallen leaves in your yard. They provide shelter from the cold. And in spring, wait for a few warm days before raking to protect the wildlife living beneath them.
