On January 18th, 2020 you are invited to attend Nature Counts. At this event you have the opportunity to learn about the results you have collected in 2019, as an Ambassador or Citizen Scientist, and how this information will be used to strengthen land conservation in the region.
All volunteers are welcome to attend. If you would like to register for this event, please email Dorthea at dorthea@couchconservancy.ca

Can you lend a hand?
In preparation for Nature Counts, we need a couple of volunteers to help putting together some name tags and other materials for the event. These tasks are very simple and would take a couple of hours to complete. If you are able to help out, please email Joelle at info@couchconservancy.ca
