- Maintain bird nest boxes
- Coordinate a local field trip : perhaps to one of your favourite nature spots

These are just a few ways that you could help. Maybe, you have a skill, talent or specific interest that you would like to share or develop as a volunteer? Let us know.

How to Volunteer
We encourage non-members** and members to participate in any of the BMN activities, events, and/or meetings to learn more about what we do and find out what interests you. Let us know your volunteering interest(s) by completing and submitting the online form below. Our volunteer coordinator will then follow-up with you. Note: As we are a non-profit volunteer organization, it can take up to one week to provide a response.
**Events are open to the public and are at no cost. Due to insurance liability, guests may participate in three activities at most before they must become a member.
