    Volunteer Opportunity: Passport to Nature Event Support

Experience a variety of nature topics and activities alongside participants while exploring and getting to know TTLT nature reserves on a deeper level. 

    Main responsibilities include: welcoming participants and introducing TTLT and the Passport to Nature program (provided in writing), signing participants in and having them sign the event waiver/photo permission form, taking photos throughout the event, and making sure no one gets left behind.

    Volunteer Opportunity: Gardening at Hawk Cliff Woods

    Do you love gardening? Then consider helping us out at the Auzins Community Wildflower Garden.

    The Auzins Community Wildflower Garden at Hawk Cliff Woods is planted with all native perennial plants that are beautiful and hardy choices for landscaping. The garden serves as a demonstration site for native plant gardening as well as a source of seeds for interested community members who want to grow native plants for their own gardens.

    Why native plants?

    Native plants provide food and habitat for birds, insects, and other creatures while requiring less care in terms of watering, pesticides, and fertilizers, than exotic landscaping plants. It's a win-win for nature and gardeners alike.

    Garden.jpgHow can you help?

    We are looking for help with garden maintenance, primarily weeding and keeping the trail clear. 

    What to bring

    • This is an outdoor event so please bring whatever you need to be comfortable, such as sunscreen, bug spray, and good shoes. As well, be sure to bring any food and water you might need. 
    • We can provide gardening gloves, knee pads, and tools but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 
    • Hawk Cliff is a great place to see flowers, birds, and wildlife, so bring your binoculars, camera, and field guides if you have them.

    Please note: this event is weather dependent. In the case of cancellations, everyone will be contacted.

    With Paul Mikoda at Hawk Cliff Woods (near Port Stanley, ON)

    Herpetofauna, or herps for short, are reptiles and amphibians. In our region herps include frogs and toads, salamanders, snakes, turtles, and one lizard. These species are important members for a healthy ecosystem and are good indicators of water quality and habitat health. Come out for a hands-on exploration of herpetofauna with terrestrial ecologist Paul Mikoda. Learn how to identify species of amphibians and reptiles up close, and what you and your family can do to protect them. Hawk Cliff Woods is located east of Port Stanley.

    Registration is required and spaces are limited. Event may be subject to change or postponement due to unforeseen circumstances.

    Skip the registration limits by signing up as volunteer support for this (and other) Passport to Nature events here.
