It was awesome working with other amazing volunteers, and seeing how much can get done in a day. We did work at a different place each week, and our wonderful guide – Bruce taught us a lot about native plants. My favourite place to work at was Waharau Regional Park, with its stunning breathtaking scenery and the bush walks we could take.

It was a really memorable experience doing conservation work at Punakaiki. We went with a DOC ranger to help maintain the tracks at the Pancake Rocks. It was a thrill working so close to the spectacular blowholes and seeing them in action!

I’d tell anyone to go for it as any day spent on one of these projects is a day well spent! It’s always fun and rewarding. It’s also an enjoyable way to learn new things, meet new people while being outdoors and helping Mother Nature 🙂
"The thing I liked the most about my volunteering experience was being immersed in nature"

The thing I liked the most about my volunteering experience was being immersed in nature. The work was good, we did a lot of different things. As a gardener, it was interesting for me to learn new things about New Zealand’s flora. I would definitely recommend it.

Past volunteer Thurha
I feel very happy to be given opportunity to do something for the community. Volunteering helps me to connect with the environment. I really enjoy the knowledge sharing session where we get to learn about the plants and trees. I think, after doing these projects, I am more aware about our environment and how we treat it.
