Contribute to conservation efforts in New Zealand. Volunteers will be working in the Pupu Rangi Nature Sanctuary, an ideal location for learning what it takes to protect endangered species. Situated on the slopes of Northland's Tutamoe Peak, the sanctuary has 100 hectares of regenerating native forest. Volunteers gain access to an unexplored forest, beautiful views of the ocean, and the calls of the kiwi under visibly bright stars. Behind the beautiful scenery the location offers, witness the countless hours of hard work spent filling bait stations, cutting trails, and monitoring pest populations. Pupu Rangi can accommodate up to eight volunteers at a time. Due to the remote location and the basic training required, placements have a minimum duration of two weeks.

8 weeks at pupurangi
November 08, 2016by: David Loewen - United StatesProgram: New Zealand Conservation VolunteerThis was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Octavian is one of the most interesting people I've ever met and he will stimulate you to rethink many things that you'd usually gloss over. I developed immensely as a problem solver during my time here, and also partook in many thought provoking conversations. You will meet other volunteers from all over the world and learn about their different cultures. The remoteness is mentally refreshing. At the camp you will be roughing it, but I found it very comfortable and invigorating. You will get to see some amazing sights around the Northland. And of course, you will work in an absolutely amazing new Zealand forest, with DOC experts, and you will get plenty of opportunities to see kiwi, some of the most rare and unique birds on the planet. You will be appreciated and you will develop as a person on this project.
