Get Involved

When it comes to looking after Hurunui’s natural environment and special biodiversity,  every contribution is welcome! Community projects require all sorts of skills and input to sustain them. As well as volunteers who plant, weed, trap, etc,  projects require leadership and admin skills, field equipment and event catering.  There are many ways you can help, including financial. If you have more ideas, we’d love to hear them!
