Join us for volunteer work in NSW national parks to help protect Australian animals, Australian birds and Australian native plants and meet new people.
Volunteering opportunities
NSW national parks benefit enormously from the help of volunteers. Volunteer work is a great way to connect with and conserve our environment for generations to come. Learn about life in the bush from park rangers. Work with Aboriginal rangers and develop your understanding of Aboriginal culture. Meet like-minded people, develop new skills and experience some of NSW’s finest natural locations.
There are many ways to get involved. Join a local bush regeneration group, sign up your company for corporate volunteering or become a tour guide.
