There are several programs, and they vary by individual parks. For example, we do have in many of our national park locations volunteer organizations called friends of national parks. It's through these organizations that we organize different events within the parks, such as some interpretation programs in which they engage the local communities in bird watching, bird counts, as well as some citizen science programs looking at the monitoring within the parks, as well as active management such as weed removal. So the friends of the parks are key organizations in helping their local parks. As well, we look at third-party local organizations, such as naturalist clubs, that can also contribute to joint efforts.
