Volunteer to Transplant Trees

with Parks Canada

This unique volunteer opportunity in Waterton Lakes National Park invites groups of 12 to 25 people to participate in an ecological restoration project. Volunteers will work alongside Parks Canada staff to carefully dig up and transplant young lodgepole pines. These trees, which regrew after the 2017 Kenow wildfire, are now encroaching on trails and need to be relocated to aid in trail reclamation and site restoration. Perfect for older school groups or teams seeking a hands-on conservation activity in the Waterton Biosphere Region.

Location: Waterton Lakes National Park

Dates: May 13, 14, 20, 21 or 22

Requirements/What to Bring: Prepare for a half-day outside with hiking and physical labour
