Controlling invasive weeds on our predator-free island
Controlling invasive weeds is an ongoing battle, but an important job to stay on top of. We're looking for enthusiastic fit volunteers to visit Motuihe Island on a regular basis to help keep moth plant, tobacco weed and rhamnus from destroying our beautiful regenerating forest.
We're also looking for team leaders to manage teams on our volunteer days (both midweek and weekend). Full training and support will be given, it's a fun and rewarding task.
Weeding requires a reasonable level of fitness, as areas can require walking up to 2-4 km before weeding commences. Weeds are often in bush so there is some bending and stretching involved.
But it's a great way to keep fit in a beautiful environment!
Weeding is an all-day activity. We have regular trips on weekdays and weekends, visit as often as suits your other commitments. There are a variety of transport options available depending on the nature of the trip, some require a small contribution towards the cost of the transportation.
