Volunteering Opportunities at Kejimkujik

"Volunteers are our partners in a vision! Lend your hand to protection and recovery efforts and accept our nature conservation challenges in the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve. Nature's bounty and the great spirit of our people will amaze you. Each year our volunteers contribute thousands of hours to a great variety of projects. Coming from all ages and backgrounds, from communities throughout Nova Scotia, volunteers are helping push the boundaries of nature conservation"

Friends of Keji Volunteer Walk of Honour
Trail to Success

In 2009, for the third year in a row, over 250 volunteers gave more than 10,000 hours of their time toward environmental conservation! To the best of our knowledge, this effort is one of the largest volunteer contributions to conservation in Canada! For this amazing and consistant dedication, we say Thank You, and congratulations!

The fourth annual volunteer banquet was held December 5 at the Caledonia legion to celebrate the many volunteer efforts in the greater Kejimkujik region. There were 11 new inductees into the walk of honour (Brad Toms,Rachel Thibodeau,Roy Bertaux,Colin Gray,Megan Crowley,David Small,Randy Farrell,Barbara Baird,Heather Reed,Simone McGregor,Rodney McGregor). Harold and Diane Clapp and John and Joselyn Craig moved up to the gold level with over 1000 hours of volunteering each. Dr. Tom Herman was awarded the lifetime achievement award for his many contributions to research and conservation work around the region. Special thanks to Duncan Smith and Brennan Caverhill for organizing and hosting the evening.
