Program Description

Volunteer conservation program in Queensland

Description

Volunteers joining this program will have the opportunity to work alongside Australia's leading practical conservation organisation to make a real difference to the environment through practical conservation projects. Projects undertaken in the Townsville and Northern Queensland region will range from protecting and enhancing the natural areas found along the Great Barrier Reef Coastline to protecting the unique vegetation found in and around the tropical rain forests and waterways, the habitat for the widely diverse wildlife found in this area.

Highlights

How this program makes a difference:

This program offers a safe, fun and friendly opportunity to contribute in a practical way to the conservation of the unique Australian environment. The types of projects assisted include: tree planting, erosion and salinity control, seed collection, construction and maintenance of walking tracks, endangered flora and fauna surveys and monitoring, weed control, habitat restoration and heritage protection.

Highlights:

The project opportunities offer an experience to volunteers to see a unique part of the Australian environment rarely seen or experienced by the average visitor. Most activities will be vegetation based (tree planting, removal of feral species, seed collection, protective fencing and more). Positive outcomes of the projects undertaken include protection of the Great Barrier Reef and ongoing support to the threatened species only found in the tropical rain in this part of the world.
