1 December 2025

This would suit an entomology student (or retired entomologist). We need someone who is fit and agile, understands insects/butterflies, and will catch them and help relocate them. This would be done on a sunny day when there is no wind, from a roadside location near Te Ātatu.

Requirements:

Fitness, hardy, good eyesight.

Time commitment:

With a little bit of good fortune this should be done in a matter of a few hours. Once relocated and released they should inhabit the butterfly habitat for many years to come.

Getting started:
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
