Become a volunteer

Enjoy a rewarding day on the island, knowing you're contributing to a better future for generations to come.

Help us create a lasting legacy by getting involved in:

  • tree planting, 
  • weed control, 
  • nursery work, 
  • and other restoration activities.

We offer regular work days for groups, families, and individuals. Corporate groups are also welcome on public volunteer days or midweek by arrangement.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Motutapu Restoration Project. All our work is powered by volunteers and supported by our generous sponsors.
