Project number: 20
Location: Fiordland National Park
Dates
4 volunteers for 8 days

Description
The Port Craig area has an amazing story to tell, with many relics remaining today. On a clear day, the coastal and mountain views are breathtaking.
The first morning will consist of a health and safety briefing for all volunteers, after which the group will help arrange food and equipment. Volunteers will then be in for a spectacular treat, as the group will be flown into Port Craig by helicopter.
Tasks will include track work, clearing vegetation and minor structure maintenance and there will also be time to explore this wonderful part of southern Fiordland.
