Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart of Tarapuruhi Bushy Park.
Over 500 hours of volunteering a month is provided by our community, and their work is vital to ensuring we continue to provide a safe space for our native life.
We are a welcoming group, always looking for new volunteers to join our team. Have a read below and get in touch if you think joining our group is a right fit for you!
Regular sanctuary volunteer days are every Tuesday and Thursday beginning at 9am near the Stables.
The Sanctuary Manager will let you know of the most urgent tasks and will assign volunteers to them. Tasks include predator control, fence checks, weed control, biodiversity monitoring, track maintenance etc. What you are assigned will depend on your fitness level and confidence.
You may stay until lunch or the end of the day. BYO Lunch and water.
