We need your help!

HNWTA needs new board members!

Calling all Volunteers!

Are you looking to get involved in your community? Consider joining us in a volunteer role!

Long-term volunteer roles:

We are currently looking for new Trail Monitors. There are vacancies for a second trail monitor on all three sections of the Mainland North Trail, the Mainland Common Loop Trail, Kearney Lake Dam Trails, Mill Run Trail, and Geizer Hill Trail. You will be oriented to the trail you choose by the trail monitor co-ordinator. During the orientation session, you will be instructed on what to look for on your monthly inspections, how to complete the online inspection form and how and what to report to 311. You will be given contact information for the trail monitor coordinator so that your future questions and concerns can be addressed. The average monthly inspection and online inspection form submission takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
If this sounds of interest to you, please reach out to us. An orientation session will be booked at your convenience. We have had a lot of success with this program so far and our existing Trail Monitors have done so much since we started in April 2019! 😊

As always though, you don’t have to be a Trail Monitor to report issues with our trails! If there are damaged benches, trees, flooding, etc. let Halifax know what needs to be fixed by calling 311 or emailing contacthrm@halifax.ca.

We are also looking for avid hikers/nature enthusiast who would enjoy becoming a Hike Leader/topic specialist on our trails. Have an idea for a hike you would like to lead (or take part in)? Just let us know!
HNWTA is always looking for new people and new ideas to come to our Board. If you are interested in making a difference in your community and would like to see new trails built and greenspaces protected, we would love to have you join us! Don’t worry, you don’t need to commit to the Board right away! Come to one of our Board meetings to see how they run and what work gets done. We’d be so happy to have you bring new ideas and perspectives to the table.
Do you have experience and skills in mapping and creating maps? We are in need of volunteers to improve our current trail maps and would love to have you help us!
Are you a social butterfly looking to contribute to your community? HNWTA is currently looking for members who would be interested in acting as a liason between HNWTA and governments, as well as other community groups.
HNWTA is currently looking for a BIPOC outreach coordinator to help make our organization as open and accessible to everyone as possible.
