Nature Centre

Positions Available

Update – Fall 2022: Scales Nature Park is currently closed for the season due to a staffing shortage. Each year, we welcome community members, students, international travelers, and more to the Scales Nature Park team. We value the many contributions of volunteers towards our conservation efforts. Despite COVID-19 we are still accepting volunteers! On-site volunteers must live at our facility and follow our COVID protocols and quarantine policy (which are stronger than provincial guidelines). Preference will be given to volunteers who can commit to longer stays. We are happy to assist with arrangements for international volunteers!
