We need your help.

The Blue Mountain Watershed is under increasing environmental pressure. The great irony is that our enjoyment of this place, with its stupendous natural features, is what is causing the degradation.  There are many ways to volunteer, many things you can do.  Please look at these options and then complete the form at the bottom of the page.

Become a member

Please become a member. Yearly dues are not expensive: $10-student, $30-adult, $45-family. The more members we have, the more clout we have when we deal with government, organizations and developers. The more dues we collect, the more able we are to hire lawyers and experts when it’s crucial to do so.

Pick an issue

If you have a particular interest in one of our issues, that’s fine. We would gladly welcome your help in moving that forward.

Boots on the ground

Do you like to get out and get your hands dirty? We plant trees, we cut phragmites, we carry out water sampling and things like streambank restoration. Children welcome!

Volunteer your students

We welcome children of all ages. We can develop a wetlands program for you or have you out to one of our tree planting or other initiatives. High school students in need of community service hours can learn while they volunteer with us.

Put in an ongoing effort

Our Watershed Action Group committee members (and other committees) put in an ongoing effort to safeguard our wild and vulnerable places. They meet monthly, as well as when needed. Join a committee and help us move forward.

Join the Board or Committees

The Blue Mountain Watershed Trust Foundation Board of Directors is always on the lookout for people who bring skills and experience to our team. We need financial controllers, marketers, teachers, people with experience in environmental organizations and municipal planning departments, lawyers, biologists and more besides. If you have transferable skills that we can use, you’re applied, efficient, courteous and able to collaborate with others who share a common goal, we would love to hear from you. We have the following committees:

  • Watershed Action Group
  • Communications
  • Education
  • Finance
  • Fundraising
  • Governance

Please fill in this Volunteer Form.
