Roles
Land Management Relations (One or two roles available)
Our current Landowner Relations Director is looking for ‘local to the trail’ volunteers to help with landowner relations.
The Landowner Relations Director is responsible for maintaining good relations with landowners and responsible for maintaining the Toronto Club’s landowner inventory.
This is the day-to-day relationship building with local landowners both on and adjacent to the Toronto Section of the Bruce Trail and any existing ‘handshake agreements’. They also handle landowner related matters, dogs, hikers, use of trail, parking, etc. As part of our board succession plan – our current director wants to share this role with other TBTC Member Volunteers. We are also looking to help with delivery of calendars each year to current landowners as part of relationship management.
We are seeking one or two ambassadors to train with and shadow the current director. They will also participate in the Land Management Committee. The current director would be happy to train one or two people for this role.
Land Management Committee Coordinator (One role available)
This role keeps the Land Management Committee organized. They work across the Toronto Club, the Bruce Trail Conservancy and the Land Management Trail Committee to:
- Record and keep General Records Management for all Toronto trail related matters.
- Act as secretary for the Land Management Committee – works with the Chair for meeting planning, agenda and minutes.
- Support volunteering requests
The right candidate must like working with systems & people. They also must be familiar with Trail Management – experience as a trail captain, land steward or trail work parties is really important. While a local resident to the trail is not mandatory – being able to get to the trail and attend in person meetings is critical.
APPLY: If either of these roles interest you please reach out to volunteer@torontobrucetrailclub.org to introduce yourself.
We promise learning, teamwork and fun!
