Make a Difference at Willow Park Ecology Centre (WPEC)

.

 

Volunteering has many benefits. It boosts mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety and it encourages physical activity, improving cardiovascular health. We invite individuals, students, families, corporate teams and community groups to get involved to help create a lasting impact for our community and the environment. Join with others in helping nature for everyone’s wellness.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Weekly Park Stewardship
    Join us to help maintain trails, garden, remove invasive species, plant trees, and more. Signup for Thursdays (4:00 – 6:00 PM) during the spring and fall, and special weekdays during the summer. Don’t miss out to enjoy the beauty of the ravine in its summer peak! It’ll enhance your mood via exposure to the natural environment. Gardens and special habitat areas need your help for a little weeding, raking, mulching, planting.

  • Special Events
    Volunteer on the day of an event or assist with planning and promotion to help make our events successful.

  • Board and Committees
    As a non-profit, we’re operated by a volunteer board of directors. Openings will be shared through our volunteer e-newsletter.

Corporate and Group Environmental Stewardship

Does your workplace/group value giving back to the community? Corporations and groups have generously supported WPEC by making financial donations and participating in targetted stewardship activities at the park. This is a meaningful way to engage employees and group membership while contributing to a greener future. Contact us to discuss opportunities.
