We believe everyone can contribute by volunteering. Recent graduates from high school, college or university, professionals taking a career break, recent retirees, individuals or groups who are interested in a change and the chance to enrich their own life and the lives of others. If you are 18 years or older you can apply for any of the placements available. If you are from 16-18 years old you may apply for placements near our Volunteer Abroad Office and Residence, so that we are able to give you more support. Both students and professionals are needed for placements in all our countries.

Working in a diversity of habitats, from forests to meadows and from wetlands to sweeping beaches, you will use various methods to monitor wildlife. You'll observe the behavior of raccoons, beavers, and skunks and the feeding habits of porcupines, and establish the locations of dens and wildlife trails. You may also use infared video surveillance and camera traps to monitor more elusive animals, such as fisher, coyote, or bobcat. You'll use trapping grids to sample rodents and shrews, and count deer droppings to provide density estimates and habitat preferences. You may also be involved with "lamping" for nocturnal wildlife, using bat-detectors to count bats, sampling invertebrates, surveying seabirds, and watching for marine wildlife.

Nova Scotia's ecological diversity is a product of delicately balanced environmental conditions, vulnerable to the rapid changes expected with global warming. You can help Drs. Christina Buesching and Chris Newman explore how Nova Scotia's wilderness ecosystem is coping with the impacts of climate change, with implications for forestry, hunting, and tourism so vital to the local economy....
