About Program
Are you looking for a transformational Conservation Volunteer program that will inspire you to live a more meaningful life?
The Chilcotin Ark is a unique wilderness area due to its diverse wildlife and ecosystems. Our organization is committed to creating a working landscape concept and management that sustains viable populations of species in the Chilcotin Ark. For over 30 years we have been successfully facilitating and conducting participatory action research and conservation projects including invasive species management, habitat management, wildlife studies, proposal writing and citizen science. This volunteer experience takes place at our ranch-based research centre located in the remote wilderness and most of our conservation is completed by horseback. Our mission is to educate the public to become stewards of our wilderness environment and we accomplish this by developing environmental research & training programs in resource management and environmental stewardship.
