Habitat Stewardship
What do habitat stewards do?
This team is responsible for establishing and monitoring native plant gardens, the wetland, and wild areas around the MARS property to create and extend habitat for our wild neighbours. We make it beautiful for people, too.
Am I suited to this volunteer job?
If you like to garden, are interested in knowing more about native trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses, and how they benefit pollinators and birds, you’ll enjoy working with this enthusiastic group of volunteers. The work varies from light planting, weeding, and watering to heavier digging and wheelbarrow work. You can do jobs that suit you.
What is the commitment?
Semi-regular work parties that you can drop in and out of.
Requirements:
- At least 16 years of age and able to work without direct supervision
- MARS membership -- annual membership fee $10 for seniors/students, $15 for individuals, and $25 for families
