Kotuku Restoration - Great Barrier Island Auckland

Provider: Glenfern Sanctuary

Region: Auckland

Duration

Ongoing

Description

The project involves continuing to restore 240 ha of pest protected native vegetation enclosed within a pest proof fence across Kotuku Peninsula, adjacent to Port Fitzroy, in the north of Great Barrier Island. We need volunteers to assist with pest control, nursery work, planting, track maintenance, and general sanctuary operations. We are currently in need of volunteers;

- during the first two weeks of Aug, Nov, Feb, and Apr when we rebait the entire peninsular

- for track building/maintenance work during summer of 2012/13.

This is an opportunity to experience and contribute to a 20 yr old restoration project and upskill your field and bush skills. If you are interested in contributing to the work occurring here, please contact us. We provide accommodation and transfers to and from airport/ferry on the island, however you will have to provide your own transport to GBI, your food and cooking.
