Volunteer opportunities
There are many ways to connect, conserve and protect the environment. One way is through on-ground action with a local volunteer group, helping with activities like weeding, seed collection, monitoring and surveys, and revegetation plantings.
5 ways to find volunteering opportunities in the Northern and Yorke region:
- Contact local Environment Centres: Reach out to the Barossa Bush Gardens, Gawler Environment Centre, or the Mount Pleasant NRC for advice on local environmental programs you can join.
- Explore citizen science and Waterwatch programs: Visit the Citizen Science website or join our Waterwatch Program, which offers a variety of projects across the region.
- Visit environmental groups online: Check out local groups like Friends of Parks SA, National Landcare Directory, Trees for Life, Conservation Australia and Volunteering SA for opportunities.
- Join the rewilding team: Volunteer with the Marna Banggara project to monitor malleefowl or participate in camera trapping analysis of predator animals.
- Start your own group: If there's an environmental issue you're passionate about, consider starting your own group through Landcare SA
