Weeding with Wednesday morning group
Help a small team restoring the coastal podocarp-broadleaf native forest at Tamaterau Reserve in Whangarei Heads. Huge progress has been made over the last 8 years so come and revel in the regenerating bush while contributing to its continuing survival.
Do you have Passion for conservation and the outdoors? It’s not all hard-slog, we break for morning tea (home-baking if we’re lucky) and a catch up with each other. We are always looking for more helpers to keep momentum and enthusiasm!
Immerse yourself in pots and soil, alongside our friendly plant nursery team, growing and selling plants to benefit our rider's wellbeing with Equine Therapy!
If you are confident around both horses and disabled people - then give us a call! The job will be leading horses and side walking with our riders during sessions. Interested volunteers can do courses run by NZRDA and gain NZQU qualifications.
Hands-on people, farmers, builders or just an all round jack of all trades - This is for you!! We have a list of small (and large) Maintenance jobs that you can pick and choose to suit your skills/time/experience.
We don’t need people who know it all, just people who know how to find it all :) We are looking for information search experts who are willing and able to support people with their appointments at other (Government) agencies.
What adventures are you up for? SCOUTS is all about fun, challenges and adventures. There are a range of ways to support your local Scout group, as a Scout Leader working directly with our youth or helping our behind the scenes as a comittee member.
