Motuihe Restoration Project enters a new Phase
We have opportunities for volunteers:
- To work in teams which in-fill already planted areas with canopy trees grown in our nursery.
- To work in the nursery, propagating the canopy species and a range of rare and endangered plants
- To spot and destroy weeds
- To help maintain our tracks
- To support and take part in our biodiversity monitoring programmes
- To man our kiosk over the summer
For any of these activities, full training will be given. Children(under 16) are welcome but must be supervised by a parent/adult.

Weekend Monitoring Trips
These trips for our Kiwi Call survey team, Reptile Monitoring survey team, Camera grid team and the Invertebrate monitoring team require volunteers to register and complete training.
