Trip Summary
See full itineraryBreathtakingly beautiful scenery is the backdrop to this awesome opportunity to really get stuck in to some serious New Zealand conservation. Play a part in conserving the famously beautiful landscapes of New Zealand. Projects might involve coastal restoration, tree planting and surveying flora and fauna.

New Zealand consists of two main islands, the North and the South. The North Island, home to the major cities: the capital Wellington and “The city of sails” Auckland is mainly volcanic in origin boasting many seismic features such as geysers and hot springs. The South Island is separated down its length by the Southern Alps, the highest point of which is Mount Cook/ Aoraki.
For a landmass that is a little larger than the UK, the population of New Zealand is only 4.1 million - which makes the ratio of sheep to people 10:1! However, this means that despite the huge number of visitors that travel to New Zealand every year it rarely feels crowded.
- Location: Auckland or Christchurch, and then in different locations
After spending a couple of days settling in to the typical Kiwi lifestyle, you will be met on Monday morning by a project team leader. You will receive a health and safety briefing and receive details about the projects you will be undertaking before travelling to the project location.
Conservation Volunteers New Zealand place volunteers on projects in urban, regional and remote locations. You will often travel to a different project location every week or two. This is a fantastic way to take part in different project activities in across the country! Every project is assessed to ensure that it has positive conservation outcomes and is part of an overall management plan. You will not be offered a choice of projects, as they vary according to seasonal conditions and conservation priorities however project leaders will do their best to provide a variety of projects or locations during your time as a volunteer, while achieving their essential conservation outcome, which always remains the priority.

What were the highlights of your trip?
The people on the project were all like-minded individuals; all enthuisiastic about the work we were doing, yet all still happy to enjoy the experience to the full. Helping the amazing environment of New Zealand was just a bonus! Our week working in a Bird Sanctuary, and in a hut up in the mountains were by far the best weeks as they made you feel like you were really making a huge difference to every part of New Zealand's Conservation!
Do you have 3 top tips for future travellers?
1. Don't think about it - just do it! 2. Volunteering is a fantastic way to learn more about a country, as it feels much more like living there than simply passing through! 3. If you have the chance to do something, take it as quickly as possible, things are quickly changing on your travels and 'chance 2' might not come along as quickly as you thik!
