Wilderness Watch

The Wilderness Watch Program is designed to assist federal and provincial resource enforcement agencies in their protection of our natural environment and its inhabitants. Under the auspices of these enforcement agencies, volunteer Wilderness Watch participants patrol rural "problem areas" within their region to observe, report and record infractions of environmental legislation. (eg. fish or wildlife poaching, pollution, vandalism, etc.). Wilderness Watch members have no powers to confront or apprehend violators beyond those of any other citizen. Rather, they are the extra eyes and ears so desperately needed by understaffed and underfunded resource agencies.
