Connecting People to Parks

Every Tuesday Conservation Volunteers are out and about at different parks around Auckland.

It’s part of an initiative between Conservation Volunteers New Zealand and the Auckland Council to help bring biodiversity back to our central parks and to give people who are interested in conservation a chance to get involved.

The programme runs every Tuesday from 8am to 4pm and volunteers get to experience a variety of Parks all around Auckland. The projects range from potting up flax and laying out pest control stations at different sites around Mt Eden, planting to restore the health of the Whau River to planting native seedlings alongside Oakley Creek.

Conservation Volunteers NZ experienced team leaders guide the programme and aim to teach volunteers about all aspects of conservation, including plant identification and planting techniques.

Each park has its own special characteristics, plants and wildlife and the conservation challenges for each area are very varied, so it’s a great chance to learn about biodiversity and how we can all make a difference to our environment.

Join us and help out your local parks.
