These projects are practical ones and off er you the chance to maybe learn new skills as well as meet others, do useful conservation work and enjoy the outdoors. All projects are subsidised by the Department of Conservation. Our Volunteer Goals 1. Provide volunteer opportunities for the community to assist in the conservation of ’s natural, cultural and historic resources. 2. Provide opportunities for people to safely experience the natural and historic environment and to become sensitive to those values. 3. Support and strengthen links between tangata whenua, conservation and recreation groups, the community in general and the Department of Conservation. 4. Provide, where appropriate, opportunities for volunteers to become aware of Māori values and perspectives on the environment. 5. Enable conservation tasks that otherwise would not have been done, to be completed through the assistance of volunteers. 6. The Department’s Volunteer Programme focuses on providing opportunities primarily for local communities, then other New Zealanders and lastly overseas visitors.
