hands-on conservation

andy in wetlandsThere is no way we would be able to do a fraction of the work we do without our volunteers. Our projects are so successful because we have a dedicated group of local volunteers who we can call on at anytime.

However, it would be great to have more!! Anyone who is interested in helping out on short term activities i.e. 1-7 days or so would be very welcome. Give us a call or send us an email to find out what we are up to.

If you are driving through Turangi and have some time and energy to give for a worthwhile cause, we would be happy to hear from you.
