Our volunteers have a wide variety of backgrounds and assist with our year-round operations. They may be involved in salmon hatchery maintenance involving daily feedings, broodstock collection, egg incubation, and rearing juvenile salmon;  habitat restoration, stream health monitoring and surveys, public engagement, tree planting, invasive plant removal, trail cleanups, and representation at public events. There's a combination of both indoor work (i.e. Society management, public engagement) and outdoor work (plants or fish). Each year some of the Hoy - Scott Watershed Society volunteers are trained through the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation.
