At the Canadian Museum of Nature, getting involved is only natural! Inspire visitors and school groups with special exhibitions, permanent exhibitions, movies and galleries in the museum. Join our team of Nature Volunteers to learn about and protect natural history.
What We Look for in a Volunteer
● Although some volunteers have a specialized knowledge of natural history, a willingness to learn is more important than qualifications.
● Volunteers must attend training to review information relevant to professional knowledge about their position.
● A security clearance must also be successfully completed.
● We ask volunteers to commit a half day a week for three to four months, minimum. Commitment to the schedule is beneficial for all.
● The museum operates in English and French. We are always looking for volunteers speaking both languages, but this is not a requirement for most positions.
Benefits of Volunteering
● Visit all parts of the museum without any charge.
● Attend lectures and workshops (if space allows).
● Make connections to people with similar natural history, museum and community service interests.
● Develop job-related customer service, teamwork, interpersonal and administrative skills.
● Get discounts on gifts at the Nature Boutique (精品店)!

  Hiking is tricky when you're carrying a threatened species. Ally Whitbread carefully walked through the wilds while carrying a cooler full of small, rare snails(蜗牛)—the Chittenango ov
ate amber snails.
  "I feel like I've got 500 babies to take care of—just like a very ray mother hen," she said. Whitbread is part of a team transporting a lab-grown population to a new, remote home. The snails are facing extinction—only dozens are estimated to remain at one waterfall in upstate New York. "Such a recovery process can take years to decades. There are several things remaining to be unlocked during the process—what the action is going to bring, what role that species might play, and whether they might live well. We are just racing to better understand our planet's biodiversity before the species die out."
  It took the scientists years to raise this population in the lab. The hike to a hidden waterfall is a chance to examine what makes them grow well in the wild, or what doesn't. The snails don't have any known unique features critical to humans, and it's been a long journey just to attempt to save them. These efforts could figure out their hidden benefits.
  Specialist Cody Gilbertson said the drive to save them can go deeper, not just the love for science. The creatures are no bigger than a fingertip and look up at their caregivers. "You k
now their big eyes are staring at you, like—there's no way that you're not going to kind of fall in love," Gilbertson said.
  Dropping them off at their new waterfall home wasn't even the end—it'll be another 5 years before the team knows whether the snails can survive there. They'll go for a hike twice a month to track their progress.
4．How does Whitbread feel about the snails' future?
A. Hopeful.    B. Disappointed.    C. Excited.    D. Uncertain.
5．Why do the scientists bring the lab-raised snails to the new habitat?
A. To unlock their hidden benefits.    B. To identify factors in their survival.
C. To preserve the planet's biodiversity.    D. To observe their reproducing process.
6．What motivated Gilbertson to save the snails?
A. Their potential role.    B. Their endangered state.
C. Their lovable appearance.    D. Their growing conditions.
7．Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Lengthy Rescue to Resettle a Tiny Snail
B. Innovative Try at Studying Threatened Species
C. Special Experience of Hiking with Snails
D. Major Breakthrough in Protecting Rare Species
Do you find yourself checking social media sites as soon as you wake up? Do you answer emails on your phone while surfing the Web? Actually, we’ve lived a life in which we’re all connected, all the time. Whether or not this is a good thing is the subject of Hamlet’s BlackBerry, a non-fiction book by William Powers based on an essay he penned.
