Volunteers Needed

Do you have free time and want to take part in volunteering opportunities occurring in Fish Creek Provincial Park? The 2023 volunteering season is just around the corner, and no matter your skill level or availability, we have a volunteer activity that is perfect for you. If you are looking to get outside and get your hands dirty, then you might like stewardship programs like invasive species management or 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 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 Friends are also looking for Park Watch Stewards and Fish Creek Ambassadors to help park visitors and engage with community members. Get to know the park and meet some amazing people here in the Fish Creek community. We look forward to working with you to bring the Friends’ 2023 volunteer programs to life!

Park Protectors Needed

Now is the perfect time of year to become a Fish Creek Provincial Park Protector! Fish Creek is a cherished natural green space that we are fortunate to have in the city, and all of the Friends’ programs and activities are designed to help preserve biodiversity and ensure a sustainable park environment. The Park Protector monthly donor program is the most convenient way to support Fish Creek Provincial Park every day and you can rest assured that your hard-earned donation will be used effectively and efficiently right here in Fish Creek.
