Get Involved
The Wildlife and Ecosystem Protection Branch offers several
opportunities for volunteers to get involved in wildlife
surveying and monitoring. Select an activity that suits
your interests, skills, and schedule, and phone or e-mail
the contact person for the particular activity.
Piping
Plover Recovery Program staff are in need of volunteers
from June through to early August each year. Nests and chicks
need to be monitored, particularly during the early morning
and late evening hours, when predators are prone to strike.
If you're willing to assist with the guardian program,
please call (204)945-5439 or (204)945-6817, or email
the Wildlife and Ecosystem Protection Branch, to volunteer
or for more information. Volunteers will be trained and
provided with blaze orange t-shirt identifying you as a
plover guardian. Volunteers will be required to keep watch
for a number of hours per day on specific days; schedules
will be set by the volunteer coordinator.
