The Beaver Valley Bruce Trail Club is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit group that maintains and stewards the Bruce Trail and its lands from the western edge of the Blue Mountains to Blantyre. Volunteers have the opportunity to contribute to conservation and the Bruce Trail in a variety of ways.

Trail Maintenance volunteers are part of a roster that may include: sawyers, trail builders, grass-cutters and trimmers, trail clean-up, etc.

Volunteer Land Stewards actively care for each of the properties that are owned or managed by the Bruce Trail Conservancy by visiting an assigned property at least twice a year, completing annual reports on the conditions of the land, and providing input into the stewardship plans.

Hike Leaders plan and guide hikers on the trail in organized hikes approximately once per month, in all four seasons if possible.

Other opportunities to volunteer in Communications and Publicity, Outreach, or on the Board are available as well.

All volunteers will receive training and equipment as necessary. Commitment times are flexible. Please contact the Club to find the opportunity that's right for you!
