Volunteer Safety

1. Wear proper footwear – For volunteer safety you must wear sturdy footwear with closed toes. CSA approved safety boots are best but running shoes and other boots are accepted. Volunteers not wearing closed toe shoes will not be able to participate….No sandals or flats please.

2. Dress for the weather – Events will happen “rain or shine” (cancelled only if thunder/lightning) so wear weather-appropriate clothing. Wear layers to be able to add or remove clothes depending on the weather.

3. Insects – You will be working in and around natural areas and can come in contact with insects such as bees, wasps or ticks. If you have insect allergies, please notify the event leader when you arrive at your event. Light coloured clothing and long pants tucked into your socks will help prevent contact with insects.
