Matairangi Trails invests in trails and regeneration of native bush on Matairangi/Mt Victoria for the enjoyment of cyclists and other users, and we would love your help

We are looking for volunteers to help with tree release and weeding to enable newly planted natives to survive; helping with planting in the winter months.

The Makara Peak Supporters are made up of keen mountain bikers, runners, walkers and residents with a passion for Makara Peak and a vision to regenerate the native forest.

We have regular weekend volunteer work parties at Makara Peak for both conservation work and trail building and maintenance and are always looking for more volunteers

We provide the how-to, tools, gloves, witty humour, world class banter, food and drink. There's no need to register, just turn up and work for as little or as long as you like. Times and locations of upcoming projects are posted on the Makara Peak Supporters Facebook page.

Fence checkers help to maintain the biosecurity of Zealandia and integrity of our fence by inspecting the fence and surrounding areas. The role involves walking a designated section of the fence on the outside, looking for anything that could cause a biosecurity breach or harm to the sanctuary, and submitting a report.

We need volunteers who are prepared to make a regular commitment, for at least six months (and hopefully more!) who are physically fit and have an eye for detail. This role offers the opportunity to get fresh air and exercise, while being an integral part of the safety of our sanctuary. It is ideal for people living around our fence line or in the surrounding area.

Access to the sanctuary is not needed, so the fence check can be done at a time that suits the volunteer, on the day that they are rostered.

During the summer months it is possible to combine a weekday shift checking the fence with a normal work day but during winter, when the days are much shorter, it is not usually possible to do that, as the check needs to be completed when there is sufficient daylight.

Volunteer with us at Conservation Volunteers Wellington and help with community-led conservation projects throughout the Wellington Region! As a Conservation Volunteer, you'll take part in practical conservation work to help protect and restore our precious green spaces.

Whether you're planting native trees, removing invasive weeds, or picking up litter, your contribution directly supports thriving local ecosystems and a more sustainable future for Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Plus, you'll get to work shoulder to shoulder with passionate community groups.

Do you live in Ngaio, Khandallah, Crofton Downs, Wilton, Wadestown area and want a piece of nature to look after?

Trelissick Park's Adopt-a-Spot gives you the opportunity to care for a spot of natural wilderness. Great for individuals, families, organisations or a group of friends, this scheme is restoring the Park and providing a safe habitat for native flora and fauna.

Your role as a 'spottee' involves weed eradication, rubbish collection, reporting of damage and pollution in the park, and planting locally sourced native trees and plants and subsequently caring for them to more effectively achieve this objective. Everyone who walks through the Park will appreciate your efforts.

Come and join our enthusiastic volunteers in restoring the natural beauty of Trelissick Park/Ngaio Gorge and contribute to our part of Sanctuary to Sea project, Te Araroa walk and the Northern Walkway. New volunteers are needed at our bi-monthly working bees on a Sunday and Wednesday afternoon; finishing with afternoon tea.

If Sunday and Wednesday don't suit, or if you have a favourite part of the Park that you wish to care for, we can get you set-up with an Adopt-a-Spot site. This scheme encourages people to adopt their own spot in the park to look after, at any time convenient to them, rather than working in with the working bee schedule.

The Park has entrances from Ngaio, Crofton Downs, Wadestown and Kaiwharawhara, and is popular with walkers, runners and dog walkers.

Composting and growing kai is climate action. Regenerative urban farms are climate change ready infrastructure and a way to grow radical hope through food in our times of climate change and biodiversity loss.

We welcome volunteers to get involved with our farm in a range of ways. Volunteers help us with harvesting on Tuesday and Friday mornings, and at our regular working bee sessions on Thursdays 5-7pm and Tuesdays and Fridays 10am-12pm.
