Chapters.

Freshwater Conservation Canada has a committed full-time team that oversees the organization's daily functions and provides expert and scientific support to its volunteer-led chapters across the country.

Our chapters and volunteers are engaged and proactive, leading efforts in conservation education, stream rehabilitation, and habitat restoration and protection throughout Canada. We develop projects and programs that highlight the relationship between land, water, shorelines, river valleys, and the communities that surround these natural resources.
