Volunteering

Feel the joy of Volunteering

Volunteering is such a personally rewarding experience and a great way to meet new people and give back to the community and the land.
There are so many areas that you can generously donate your time to support the environment, nature, local wildlife, recreational activity groups and so much more.

Here are just some of the many options:

Cleaning Up Our Land

Clean Up Australia Day locations
Sea Shepherd Beach Clean Ups in your area

Tree Planting & Conservation

Did you know that a mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year, not to mention the carbon dioxide it also absorbs?

Give back to the land and the environment by planting and preserving trees.
