Community

SWEPS relies entirely on volunteers to carry out its work. From trail building and stream restoration to community outreach, there’s a place for everyone to contribute.

Community-Driven Stewardship in the Shubenacadie Watershed

SWEPS is a volunteer-led non-profit built on community involvement. From organizing cleanups and public meetings to gathering input on local issues, we believe that lasting environmental protection begins with informed, empowered people.
Whether you’re here to attend an event, read the latest updates, or share your voice—we’re glad you’re part of our watershed community.

Meetings

Our meetings are open to the public and offer a chance to hear updates, ask questions, and contribute to SWEPS planning and decision-making. We post agendas in advance and share minutes afterward to keep our work transparent and accessible. Whether you’re attending or catching up online, your engagement matters.
