Get involved

Get involved in volunteer activities around the country.

Have your say on issues we are consulting on, and see past consultations.

New Zealand's special wildlife and ecosystems are facing serious threats, and more action is needed to save it. The problem is big, so we need more help to stop the loss of our native species and habitats.

You need permission from DOC for interacting with wildlife, importing and exporting endangered animals and plants (including their parts), and using public conservation land or waters for specific activities.

Find nature activities you can do outdoors and at home.

Find resources to support conservation teaching and learning, and DOC supported education programmes you can get involved in.

Learn more about conservation with an online or field based training course, or with our Summer Internship Programme.
