Volunteer Projects

The colony at Port Tarakohe

A good morning's work

We are always looking for people to join our volunteer working programme. To find out what is planned for the next meeting, email us using the Contact page.

Depending on demand, we build penguin nesting boxes, rat trap tunnels and we occasionally need help installing them! The vegetation at the colony is also quite a demanding lot, so a team of volunteers work year round to keep the thriving natives in check.

Possible future work includes fencing, predator control and revegetation of penguin nesting sites.
