Conservation Youth Corps | Thornhill Garden Maintenance

Do you enjoy being outdoors and want to help out in your community?

Join the (CYC) series this Spring/Summer with Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP) in Thornhill! We will be working to ensure the gardens at both York Hill Park and Gallanough Park thrive for local bees, butterflies, and other essential wildlife.

This is a great opportunity to earn high school community service hours while making a lasting environmental impact in your neighborhood! All tools and training are provided. No experience necessary—just dress for the weather and be ready to dig in!
