Want to help save one of Canada's most endangered species? We are actively recruiting motivated individuals to join our volunteer team! The Northern Spotted Owl Breeding Program (NSOBP) is a project managed by the British Columbia Conservation Foundation, a registered non-profit. The NSOBP in Langley, BC is home to over 30 northern spotted owls for which we provide care 365 days a year. Our volunteer team provides much-needed support to staff and is crucial to our success. Rodent Care & Cleaning volunteers help maintain our rat and mice prey colonies to keep our owls fed with fresh, nutritious food. A volunteer orientation and all required training will be provided. Have a friend who is also interested in volunteering? We are happy to accept pairs of volunteers who want to work together!
