Amazing dog sledding volunteering experience in Canada!
by: Molly Patel - AustraliaProgram: Husky Ranch Dog Sled Volunteering in CanadaI joined the husky ranch program of Fronteering earlier this year. I arrived early March which was towards the end of the winter season of course but it still got a good 6 weeks of dogsledding in which was great. I stayed a total of 10 weeks so the last 4 weeks we started working more towards preparing the ranch for summer. Seeing the place come to life during spring was also great. Summer I hear is also good time to go but if you want to have snow and do dogsledding in the snow then you need to go between Mid November and Mid April. Sure you can maybe dogsled before or after those dates depending on which ranch you will be placed at but to be assured I would recommend those dates. Also it is good to know that not all ranches have the typical Siberian huskies. The ranch I went to had Alaskan huskies which is a mixed breed bred to be the perfect sled dog. Dogsledding itself is so awesome, it is much faster then you think but also quite a work out!
Wildlife volunteering Ontario
by: Shelley Dering - United StatesProgram: Wildlife Rehabilitation in OntarioI am really not good at this but here It goes. I am from Georgia USA and I needed to get some experience for my education back home. I am a biology student and I am planning to work in wildlife conservation and rescue after I graduate. I chose this program since it was mentioned that it gives the best possible experience for my resume. There are different locations for this program but if you mention that you are looking for experience as this is your field of study then they will place you with the most relevant project which in my case was a wildlife hospital. I got a lot of experience and I learned quite a bit. The area is also very nice and the great lakes are beautiful. Traveling around can be a bit difficult unless you have a rental car since it is quite isolated. My purpose was different of course but I am just saying if you are coming to travel and see places then its something you should be aware of. How can this program be improved? What I would like other volunteers to know is that this project is not just 1 but there are different locations within Ontario and Fronteering choses which location you will go to. I like my location but I can't say much about the others.
Awesome volunteer experience in Mongolia
by: Tara Ridge - United KingdomProgram: Wild Horse Research in MongoliaHi There! Last September I travelled with Fronteering to Mongolia to take part in the Wild horse research program to help protect and conserve the przewalski's horse. I had such a great time and it was so amazing to these animals in their native habitat! Everything was arranged well and the people were very nice! I Started in September when the whether was still nice but I did hear it gets very cold in winter so that is something you should keep in mind. I can definitely recommend this project and it's great cause!
