• The West Vancouver Youth Stewardship Project

  This project is the result of a partnership between the District of West Vancouver and Evergreen. The purpose is to provide West Vancouver youth with opportunities for meaningful environmental stewardship while forming connections and mentorship relationships with Municipal staff, community based non-profit organizations and community members of all ages. Through regular stewardship events, interactive and educational workshops and training in natural areas management, local youth will both have fun and gain valuable knowledge and skills for a lifetime of environmental leadership in their community.

  For more information on the West Vancouver Youth Stewardship Project, contact Andrew Appleton.
