Protected Areas Steward
Protected Areas Steward Project
Volunteer Stewards are individuals and organizations that help to develop a world-class network of parks and protected areas. They provide input to site managers to assist with the management and operation of a number of protected areas throughout the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Duties of a steward include:
- To record the state of important natural terrestrial and aquatic features, flora and fauna, including endangered or threatened species and habitats.
- To record any evident changes, threats, or disturbances to the protected area.
- To identify any intentional or accidental violations contrary to the legislation of the protected area.
- To inform Protected Area Managers of their findings.
Besides helping to protect environmentally sensitive areas as a steward you also have:
- a great learning and outdoor adventure for all.
- volunteer experience for your resume.
- a fleece vest, water bottle, cap or a backpack, depending on your activity.
Get out there, and Protect your Natural Areas!
