Conservation Opportunities
Dunedin City Council's Parks and Recreation Strategy is motivated to see the local community more active more often, when it comes to maintaining local facilities, parks and the open spaces that are there for the enjoyment of all. The DCC supports a diverse range of opportunities for volunteers to engage with the environment.
Your Team could be doing any of the following enjoyable activities:
- Planting
- Weed control
- Pest control
- Rubbish clean-ups
- Track maintenance (walking tracks and bike tracks)
- Helping with various opportunities and events on parks and reserves
- You will always be working alongside others
Training provided:
- Each respective conservation project has its own Health and Safety induction program and supervisor
- Please enquire to hear more about all available and up-and-coming opportunities
Benefits of volunteering:
- Previous volunteer Teams report having gained memorable experiences as they work together and connect with the landscape
- Your Team will be helping the environment to thrive while also keeping these precious spaces safe and accessible for the enjoyment of all
If you are interested in any of the above, please submit your expression of interest and they will contact you to chat about the various types of regular volunteer work and other events that are available
