Our Volunteers

ANPC is a volunteer led and run organisation with elected and non-elected positions, and committees or members that deliver our programs as well as special projects. ANPC volunteers provide crucial support to ANPC as it works to advance the understanding of native plants and ecosystems in Alberta.

If you are passionate about native plants, ecosystems and their long-term sustainability then the Alberta Native Plant Council (ANPC) Society wants you! No experience as a botanist or Board member is required, as we have an amazing orientation/ onboarding/ leadership program. You need to be an ANPC member in good standing for these positions.

Contact our volunteer coordinator volunteer@anpc.ab.ca if you are interested in a vacant position.
