Youth and Ecological Restoration

YER provides youth aged twelve to eighteen with one-on-one work experience through ecological restoration methods, ecotherapy practices and mentoring support.

BC Ministry of Children and Family Development has funded YER since 2004.

Through restoring local watersheds with community members,
youth gain a sense of worth, belonging and place.
