Other Ways to Join or Renew

  • Visit our conservation centre at 69 Boyer Drive in Desbarats to join or renew in person. We are open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you are making a special trip, please call ahead at 705-782-2200, as the nature of our work sometimes takes all staff away from the centre during regular hours. Cash, cheques, and major credit cards can be accepted in person.

  • Cheques for membership can be mailed to:

    PO Box 127, 69 Boyer Drive

    Please be sure to include your name, full mailing address, and contact information with your membership. If you prefer not to receive emails or do not want to be listed in the membership directory, please let us know.
