Team Event Volunteering: Improving ZEALANDIA for the future (SEPTEMBER)
ZEALANDIA
Estimated Time: 6 - 6 Hours Over 1 - 1 Days
Zealandia’s fence is 8.6km long, and covers an area of 225 hectares. We have 3 to 4 rangers in charge of all of the maintenance of the tracks, drains, fence, and vegetation which is a lot of work! We depend on volunteers to assist with these tasks. Zealandia take on groups of between 5 (min) to 15 (max) people to work on re-vegetation, vegetation clearance, track maintenance, drain building, and anything else that might come up which helps improve for the future. WHEN: Zealandia need teams of volunteers to help on for 3rd, 5th, 10th of SEPTEMBER NOTE: This is a team opportunity and it is preferable that you apply as a team rather than as an individual volunteer. Please choose a "team leader," or point person, to apply for this project on behalf of a group. When applying, please state where your team are from when applying and the number of volunteers interested.

Tasks will be decided on the week before. The jobs are usually really satisfying, and are often quite a bit of fun.
The type of work has the ability to be diverse, with anything from track maintenance and vegetation control to splitting wood and painting. There are no rainy day options, but in the event of cancellation, due to weather, a new date can be arranged.
Finish 3pm

Bring: Lunch, a drink, tramping boots or similar hard wearing footwear, appropriate clothing for the weather and a raincoat. It is easier to take clothing off when warm that it is to have nothing to put on when it gets cold and wet. Bring a daypack so you can stow what you don’t need.
All of the volunteers coming will need to read our golden rules (copy supplied), and sign a registration form. If there is any medical conditions we should be aware of please let us know in advance
