The Butterflyway Project

The Butterflyway Project is a citizen-led movement that is growing highways of habitat for bees and butterflies through neighbourhoods in communities across Canada.

The District of North Vancouver is one of the most scenic municipalities in Metro Vancouver. An abundance of natural beauty and wildlife makes it a great addition to the 2018 Butterflyway Rangers cities. The District of North Vancouver manages over 3000 hectares of parkland, greenways, and open spaces. Connecting the wilderness forests to the many beautifully-maintained gardens in the urban areas will create a natural pathway to support important and beneficial species of butterflies and wild bees.

Registration is from March 14 to 30. We will recruit 20 Rangers. Please check out the registration site to apply. An evaluation will take place immediately after registration wraps up and selected Rangers will be notified during the first week of April.
  
Training is set for April 28 at Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre. 

Selected Rangers will make friends and learn about the science of butterflies and other wild pollinators, and about plants and food. 

Rangers will be required to sign up for 20 volunteer hours during the six-month contract.
