Volunteer on the Kauri Coast

Introduction

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

In addition to participating in a conservation activity, volunteering in the Kauri Coast has an educational component.

Educational activities may include guided walks, a talk from our knowledgeable rangers or members of a local community group, trap demonstrations or even meeting a kiwi.

What to expect

As a volunteer you'll be helping with activities like planting, weeding, pest control, track work or site maintenance.

Examples of past activities:

  • planting on a local farmer's property to conserve a globally endangered bird
  • cleaning up Bayley's Beach
  • releasing baby kauri trees from choking weeds and getting to meet a kiwi.

Transport: Transport to and from sites is provided.

Fitness required: Activities are usually suitable for a range of fitness levels and skills. We encourage people of all ages to join us!
