The Bruce Trail Conservancy is a charitable organization committed to establishing a conservation corridor containing a public footpath along the Niagara Escarpment, in order to protect its natural ecosystems and to promote environmentally responsible public access to this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. It is one of only twelve such reserves in all of Canada. The BTC has nine clubs which can request the help of the Flying Squad, a team of trail maintenance volunteers who help build and maintain trail on an as needed basis. They are called in when large work parties are needed or help is needed on short notice. Projects can be anywhere along the Bruce Trail and can take place on weekdays or weekends. They may include building bridges, stiles and stairs; planting trees, shrubs and groundcover; and removing invasive species. Flying Squad members are notified by email about upcoming trail maintenance projects.
