Behind-the-Scenes Heros

This month, we want to recognize some incredible volunteers who work behind the scenes. They provide strategic guidance and expertise to shape our organization and the work we do. They are helping us achieve the Fraser Valley Conservancy’s vision of protecting and enhancing nature in the Fraser Valley for future generations.

A big thank you to our volunteer Board of Directors and to our dedicated committee members:

Emma, Marissa, Jillian, John, Bruno, Amanda, Tracey, Harley, Myles, Steve, Nickie, Tamsin, Alex, Kendra, Aleesha and Lisa.

We’re so grateful for your time, insight, and leadership. You may not always be in the spotlight, but your impact is felt in every part of our work.

The Fraser Valley Conservancy values and appreciates every single one of its volunteers and the time that they donate to us.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of the upcoming events, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
