Environmental Stewardship - Community Litter Cleanup - Lower Mainland

About the B.C. Wildlife Federation                                                                                                        

For nearly 75 years, the B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF) has been at the forefront of wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, and outdoor education in British Columbia. Our mission is to protect, enhance, and promote the wise use of the environment to benefit present and future generations. Our origins date back to the 1890s when volunteer conservationists established fish and game protective associations that formed the basis of some of our current member clubs.

As a Community Litter Cleanup volunteer, you'll play a vital role in removing trash from parks, streets, and natural areas, contributing to a healthier, more vibrant community. Join us in making a difference—one piece of litter at a time!
