The Work

We’re looking for energetic volunteers to help us with the ongoing restoration of Windebank Creek.
This will involve picking up garbage on the property, some invasive plant control, as well as helping us plant native shrubs.
You will also get an opportunity to learn about the history of Windebank Creek, see in-person the salmon who depend on it, and the impacts of climate change

Why it’s Helpful

Windebank Creek is a salmon-bearing creek that runs through a FVC conservation property in Mission, BC. You will be helping us keep the property in top condition for the fish and wildlife that call the area home.
The fight against invasive plant species is always ongoing, and your planting of native trees and shrubs will help shade the stream and make it a beautiful space.
