Ecological Reserve Wardens
Ecological Reserve (ER) Wardens are a team of dedicated volunteers across the province who make significant contributions to the parks and protected areas system.
In partnership with BC Parks staff, ER Wardens provide an array of services that include: manual invasive plant control; inventory of flora and fauna; and, trespass monitoring.
ER Wardens act as the overall eyes and ears for BC Parks in our ecological reserves. These dedicated volunteers care deeply for the ecological reserves they work in and serve an invaluable role in the long-term protection of the reserves.
