Volunteer for wildlife conservation work
COVID-19
Great news, we can continue volunteering at all settings in the COVID-19 Protection Framework (traffic light system). As of 11.59pm on 4th April you will not need to show a vaccine pass to take part in volunteering, however, to keep you safe, we will require all volunteers to bring facemasks to each activity. We ask that you also stay home if you are showing symptoms of Covid-19, are isolating or have a household member isolating.

Adopt a tree

We are delighted to offer a new way to be part of Project Island Song – and a great gift idea. Each year we plant a great many trees, from primary plants that are known as “colonising plants”, such as kanuka, Manuka and cabbage tree through to the great canopy trees that make up the ancient forests, such as kauri, totara and rimu.

An annual donation of $50 per year will pay for a year’s servicing of one of the 450 trap stations we have on the mainland to protect the islands: you will receive an electronic certificate with the trap’s GPS coordinates and you can also monitor your trap catches online.
