DOC Volunteer Wednesday

Join a DOC ranger for a day and help to preserve our beautiful natural environment and carry out conservation work.

The work varies each month. Past examples include site maintenance at Ruapekapeka Pā, weeding at Ocean Beach, planting at Paradise Shores and fencing at the Whangārei Kiwi Sanctuary, where volunteers were lucky enough to meet a kiwi that needed a transmitter change.

There is an educational component each month which may include a talk from a knowledgeable ranger, meet a kiwi or learn about an historic site.

Limited transport available from the Whangārei DOC office.

Requirements

Reasonable level of fitness required.
