      Flora & Fauna Fridays at Shaffer Community Park

      Registration is required. Sign up today!

      Join the City of Vancouver’s Volunteer Programs and Naturespaces for our mid-day volunteer event series: Flora and Fauna Fridays! These events offer a wonderful opportunity to contribute to a sustainable environment while learning about the local ecosystem. Each session will feature hands-on service to help build and support natural systems, along with snacks and the chance to connect with fellow volunteers. You’ll also receive valuable insights into the importance of the project you’re working on. We invite you to join us for one or all of the Flora and Fauna Fridays between October and mid-December. Together, we can make a positive impact on our environment!

      Training, gloves, tools, water, and snacks will be provided. This opportunity is family-friendly and great for teens. Volunteers should dress for the weather and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Youth under 18 must bring a signed minor consent form.

      Accessibility is important to us and we’ve taken it into account while planning this event. This location is wheelchair accessible, and work is primarily done in a quiet park with potential for some infrequent loud work sounds and nearby traffic. For mulching projects, volunteers may be shoveling, twisting and turning, and pushing wheelbarrows. For invasive removal projects, volunteers may be kneeling, pulling, and twisting as well as possibly lifting plants overhead to load into a dumpster. There will be a space in the RSVP form for you to let us know if there are any accessibility needs you have so that we can do our best to find a volunteer role that will work for you.

      (Registration will close two days prior to the event at 2 p.m. If registration is already closed and you still want to register, please email cityvolunteer@cityofvancouver.us to let us know you will be a walk-up and you can sign in on-site.)
