Meet the Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society at Our Booth!
Come visit our booth and chat with volunteers about the amazing work we’re doing to protect and enhance the local watershed. We’ll have information for the grown-ups, and lots of ways you can get involved in local conservation efforts.
Volunteer with Us! 🌿
The River Never Sleeps Festival wouldn’t be possible without the help of our incredible volunteers. As a wholly volunteer-run organization, the Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society has many tasks to complete in their mission to rebuild the wild Coho population and restore Chum, and Pink salmon to their historical habitats – all in an urban environment.
If you’re passionate about salmon conservation and want to make a real impact in our community, we need your help at our booth during the festival! As a volunteer, you’ll get the chance to:
-
Assist with activities for children and families
-
Share information about our projects and initiatives
-
Help manage our booth and keep things running smoothly
-
Be part of the energy and excitement of this amazing event!
Volunteering at our booth is a fun way to get involved, meet like-minded people, and make a positive impact on the environment. Plus, you’ll gain valuable experience and have the chance to connect with other volunteers and environmental organizations in the area.
