Invasive Species Removal
Invasive species like Garlic Mustard and European Buckthorn are a persistent issue at our nature reserves. Each year, volunteers join us for invasive species removal events, helping to maintain the ecological integrity of our nature reserves. We're always looking for volunteers who are interested in helping us manage these plants, particularly people with chainsaw certification.
Email outreach@oakridgesmoraine.org to find out more about this role, or visit our events page to see upcoming opportunities.
Education Lead
Share your knowledge of the region's biodiversity and natural heritage with the community! We are looking for nature-lovers to lead events like educational webinars and guided nature walks. If you're passionate about anything wildlife and conservation related we'd love to hear from you!
Nature Reserve Guardians
Nature Reserve Guardians are involved in supporting our nature reserves across the moraine. Three of our main sites are the Beeton Forest Nature Reserve (New Tecumseth), the Starcliff Nature Reserve and Maple Cross Nature Reserve (King Township)
Volunteers in this role are involved with a range of activities, including property and biodiversity monitoring and reporting, trail maintenance, clean up, and invasive species removal.
Public Engagement
If you love community-based events and meeting new people, this is a great opportunity to partner with our team to share our mission. In this role, you’ll help to educate, inform, and welcome visitors and volunteers to the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust at outreach events.
Native Seed Collection
Our volunteer seed collectors help support habitat restoration efforts for the endangered Kirtland’s Warbler in Northumberland County. As a volunteer with this project, your efforts will contribute to the conservation and protection of this endangered bird and many other species at risk.
