Job and Volunteer Opportunities with BC Nature
Join the BC Nature team in “Knowing Nature and Keeping it Worth Knowing”.
VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
BC Nature has long played an important role in British Columbia, representing the interests of nature, conservation, and the province’s network of naturalist clubs. This work depends on the dedication and commitment of volunteers, and we are fortunate to have benefited from the efforts of many outstanding individuals over the years. The strength of BC Nature lies in its members—both individuals and clubs—whose knowledge, passion, and service sustain our mission.
As we begin a new year, we invite interested naturalists to consider joining the BC Nature Board. Several appointments will be made at the upcoming Annual General Meeting in May, and we are seeking individuals who are willing to contribute their time, skills, and perspectives to support BC Nature’s goals and activities.
If you are interested in serving in one of these roles, or if you know someone who would be a good fit, please contact BC Nature at info@bcnature.ca

In addition, the Vice-President helps prepare Board meeting agendas and supports the effective functioning of the organization’s leadership.
Director-at-Large

They typically serve on one or more standing committees, such as Governance, Finance, or Human Resources, helping ensure that BC Nature operates effectively and responsibly.
Regional Coordinator (Vancouver Island)
The Regional Coordinator serves as an essential liaison between BC Nature and its member clubs on Vancouver Island. This role includes participating as a full Board member, organizing regional meetings, and maintaining communication with local clubs on issues of concern. The Regional Coordinator helps share information between clubs and the Board, prepares correspondence related to regional conservation issues, and may assist with media outreach. Additional responsibilities include serving on the Awards Committee, submitting regular reports to the Board, encouraging regional contributions to BCnature magazine, and supporting regional science fair award programs.
Serving on the BC Nature Board is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to conservation, natural history education, and the strength of our province’s naturalist community. We encourage members who are passionate about nature and committed to stewardship to consider becoming part of BC Nature’s leadership.

The Camp Committee is looking to recruit both a chair and members to organize and plan BC Nature Camps. Do you enjoy being an organizer? Then this is the volunteer position for you!
BC Nature camps are highly anticipated and enjoyed by BC Nature members, they provide fun, informative and educational nature outings. They also provide an opportunity for camaraderie through the social aspect of the our multi-day/night camps.
The camps can also lead to increased involvement by members and generally raise funds for our education and conservation activities. The financial gains from being a host club can be lucrative for both BC Nature and the host club.
