Get outside, get involved, help others and explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD). Sound like fun?
As a Comox Valley parks volunteer, you’ll play an invaluable role in the protection and management of the CVRD parks and trails. You’ll help develop and maintain park facilities, serve on committees and keep a watchful eye on what's happening in our parks.
How to get involved
The best way to get involved as a parks volunteer is by signing up to help one of our current partners with their next project. (Scroll down for a list of current partners). Contact the partner directly or let us help you find a good match based on your interests, skills, time available and energy level.
If you like taking pictures while exploring your parks, for example, you could be a volunteer photographer, helping us showcase the wonders of nature to be found within our parks. Photographs could be used on our website, park interpretive signs, trail brochures or other media.
