Introduction
This Sanctuary is a non-profit organization located in the cloud-forest of Tutamoe Peak in Northland, New Zealand.
The area is home to the endangered kiwi bird and to the rare giant kauri snail.Locals and volunteers are working together to protect this lush forest and to restore it to its natural splendor.
The organization is built on sustainable principles and it is totally off-grid with most of the structures and tools having been recycled from other projects..
Working with the Department of Conservation, we are also able to protect and monitor the precious wildlife in a number of other forests each having its unique characteristics.
Our volunteers perform a wide range of these activities, creating access trails, protecting native species from invasive rats, possums, and stoats, planting native trees, monitoring the pest numbers, and building an environment that will continue to be home to the endangered Kiwi and Kokako birds.
This project not only gives youa chance to actively restore protected natural ecosystems, but it also creates an everlasting experience for all who are involved.
Volunteering at the sanctuary will challenge your mind, body and soul.
Not only will you learn a great amount about conservation and sustainability practices, but you will also be involved in the execution of the sanctuarys daily maintenance tasks and activities.
Youll Be Getting Your Hands Dirty With Activities Like
cutting and marking tracks,
installing, refilling and monitoring bait stations,
monitoring kiwi, kokako, and rodents,
monitoring bats, lizards, and fresh water fish,
entering data,
weeding and planting the herb garden,
building +amp; landscaping
chopping wood and much, much more.
No volunteer experience is the same and you never know what exciting tasks will come up while youre here
We try to balance the maintenance and sustainability activities so everyone gets a well-rounded stay.
We appreciate every hour our volunteers put in because without you, this initiative would not be possible.
