Connect with nature, volunteer, and make a real difference.
Join the Wild Heart Project!
We believe the positive steps we all take to protect and restore nature can make a big difference. Wild Heart Project is part of Conservation Volunteers New Zealand and Shades of Green. We bring passionate people together to grow the native forests and habitat that will let our native wildlife thrive. Conservation is a core part of the Kiwi Spirit, and something we are all part of.
Get involved in our conservation volunteer projects across Aotearoa.
Our growing team of volunteers are looking after some of this country’s most special places. Get involved, so together we can care for this country’s precious nature.
Join our overnight conservation volunteer projects across Aotearoa.
Our overnight projects are a great way to connect with different parts of the country, and meet awesome people! Projects start every Monday and Thursday. Volunteer for 2 days to 2 months, everyone's welcome.
A daily charge helps support costs for food, accommodation, transport and your guide ($89 adults, $49 kids). There’s also a 20% discount if volunteering for 3 days or more.
Volunteer locally for single day projects.
Discover your local places and make a difference to our natural habitat by joining one of Conservation Volunteers NZ one-day projects. There's usually no cost for these projects, and you can join for just one event, or come as often as you like.
