Environmental Stewardship - Invasive Species Removal - Saanich

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 an Invasive Species Removal volunteer, you'll be crucial in restoring the local ecosystem, giving native species the chance to flourish and reclaim their natural habitat.
