Wilderness Committee getting volunteers to assist community and ecotourism venture in the Heart of the Boreal

The Wilderness Committee is happy to announce we are immediately moving forward with a pilot volunteer project at Raven's Creek Ventures in the community of Hollow Water.

Raven's Creek Ventures was established by Garry Raven to bring people out to the Heart of the Boreal, and provide education about the environment through the traditional knowledge and culture of the Anishinaabe people. With Garry's passing this winter, Robert Raven has taken on the responsibilities of Raven's Creek.

The volunteer opportunities at Raven's Creek are varied. General labour and handyperson work will be necessary to revitalize the campground and gathering facilities at Raven's Creek and afield. An organic garden plot is being established, with the help of international WWOOF volunteers (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms), to provide healthy food for community celebrations and events. Trail marking and routing work will be ongoing all summer, as hiking trails are established in the Heart of the Boreal region.

If anyone is interested in signing up for volunteer days and trips, please contact the Wilderness Committee by phone or email.
