Volunteer with us!

While it might not seem like spring is nearing with this weather we're receiving, it is right around the corner! As the ground warms up, we will be requiring more help on site.


Matthew, our manager of land stewardship has identified some areas that he needs help with in the meadows, wetlands, and forest:

  • Identify and monitor vegetation in the meadows over the seasons.

  • Remove blackberries and thistles from the meadows.

  • Remove ivy from the forest.

  • Develop a plan for managing reed canary grass in the wetlands.

Jenn, our manager of farm operations and the regenerative farmers will also need help with plenty of farm tasks in the coming weeks.

​© 2025 Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture

The Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture is located on the traditional, unceded lands of the SENĆOŦEN speaking W̱S͸ḴEM (Tseycum) and BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin) peoples of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation. We acknowledge their deep, ongoing relationship with the land and waters since time immemorial.

Regenerative agriculture is deeply informed by the wisdom and practices of Indigenous food systems, which have fostered ecological balance and abundance. We recognize that agriculture has been both a tool of both oppression and a potential pathway toward justice and reconciliation.

We commit to meaningful action by stewarding ecosystems, honouring Indigenous knowledge, supporting food sovereignty, and fostering relationships built on respect, reciprocity, and learning. Regenerative agriculture must include the regeneration of right relationships—with the land, its original stewards, and one another.
