Are you looking for a unique opportunity in environmental conservation? Friends of the Salmon River (FSR) would love to have you on our team.
About Us
We are a volunteer community group that has worked since 2004 to safeguard the ecological integrity of the Salmon River watershed, which stretches from Cloyne in the north to Shannonville on the Bay of Quinte.
Our board is made up of seven to ten members, elected annually, who meet online every two months. Together, we identify environmental issues affecting the watershed and undertake projects (often with partner groups) that promote conservation and healthy river practices.
What You Could Be Involved In
- Watershed conservation
- Shoreline and habitat restoration
- Environmental advocacy
- Education and communications
- Organizing activities and events, including hiking and paddling outings
- Networking with other groups and building community
Who Can Join
- No specific qualifications are required, beyond a sincere interest in the health of the watershed.
- Background in ecology, biology, communications, education, outreach, governance, administration, or website management is welcome, but not essential.
- Adults of all ages are welcome.
- You do not need to live in the Salmon River watershed.
- We provide plenty of orientation support as you get involved and take on new responsibilities.
