When you make a visit to the Cowichan Estuary Nature Centre, you’ll be greeted by friendly and talented volunteer nature interpreters. But did you know our volunteer family extends beyond nature education? Every month we receive help with ‘odd jobs’ from generous volunteers, and this month we’d like to recognize their tremendously helpful support!
Two of our wonderful maintenance volunteers keeping the Nature Centres windows sparkly and clean!
Whether it’s installing new outdoor lightbulbs, cleaning windows, providing tech support, or building new exhibits – we couldn’t do what we do without their help.
So next time you visit the Nature Centre and enjoy the view of the estuary from behind crystal-clear windows, think about all the ‘behind the scenes’ work that goes into keeping our community education space open.
Thank you to all the ‘helping hands’ – there are too many of you to name, but you know who you are!!
If you are interested in volunteering at the Nature Centre, contact us here or email us!
A life-long valley resident, guardian of the Great Blue Heron colony in the ravine just across the road from the Centre, and local Park’s Commission chair, Kerrie has lots of local knowledge to share. Kerrie, a retired children’s librarian, also hosts 4-weeks of stories, songs and games for preschoolers every Spring and Fall. Stay-tuned for her Thursday morning offerings this coming November. Thank-you Kerrie! We are grateful for all that you do for children and nature education in the estuary!
In fact John has mentored, taught, and guided thousands of youth in his long career. We really appreciate John’s dedication and the extensive skill set he brings to our organization!
