What you can do - Paid and/or voluntary work opportunities
Volunteer Work
Volunteer Programmes
Forest and Bird does not offer full time volunteer programmes. We receive many
enquiries regarding the possibility of students volunteering in the conservation
field. Unfortunately we cannot assist because of the time commitment this would
involve for our full time staff.
Local Volunteers
If you have some spare time and would like to assist with tree plantings or any
other activities that our local branches undertake please contact our branches
directly. Click here for a list of contact details.
Administrative
Volunteer Work We have offices in Wellington, Auckland, Nelson, Christchurch
and Dunedin so if you are willing to assist with clerical duties during office
hours on an on-call or on-going basis please contact these
offices stating the times and days you are available and what sort of work
you wish to do.
