What's On in Your Area!
Australia
In Western Australia, help us to protect vulnerable sites at Blackwood River Basin by connecting the remaining bushland areas through revegetation.
Victorian teams will be volunteering at La Trobe Wildlife Sanctuary and helping to improve and enhance the quality of habitat in this thriving patch of land, or assisting with Sand Dune Preservation around Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale.
South Australian volunteers can join us for a day or two on a successful long-running program at Patawalonga Creek, helping with restoration through seed collecting, planting, weed control and surveys.
In Queensland, come and volunteer at the Bush Garden Nursery in Townsville potting plants, sowing seed and learning skills in identification and propagation. Join our Cairns team on the Southern Atherton Tablelands project and help to restore connectivity in the World Heritage Area and support Tree Kangaroo Habitat. Spend the day in Gladstone at Reg Tanner Park monitoring the water quality, fauna and flora and litter data.
Join us in New South Wales and help our teams to plant 1,000 trees (or more!) at the Newcastle Wetland Reserve, or assist with weed removal, fauna surveys and planting activities to improve the health of the wetland system at Shoalhaven River.
New Zealand
In the South Island, our efforts continue on the beautiful West Coast with our Punakaiki Coastal Restoration Project. This project focuses on habitat restoration of coastal land adjacent to Paparoa National Park.
Join Auckland's Connecting People to Parks project and spend the day potting up flax and laying out pest control stations at different sites around Mt Eden, planting to restore the health of the Whau River, or plant native seedlings alongside Oakley Creek.

Neighbour Day 2015
Neighbour Day is brought to you by Relationships Australia and is Australia’s annual celebration of community, bringing together the people next door, across the street or on the next farm for a beer, BBQ, or just a cuppa. The day is held on the last Sunday in March every year, and in 2015 it will be Sunday March 29. It’s the perfect day to say thanks for being a great neighbour and for being there when I needed you most. Neighbours are important because good relationships with others can and does change communities. Neighbour Day is bringing together like-minded people, resources, and organisations to grow stronger, well connected communities – every day of the year!
Conservation Volunteers Australia has been supporting communities for decades in practical conservation projects and we know first-hand that volunteering is a great way to meet people, and help out communities. We have joined with Neighbour Day as a Very Neighbourly Organisation and are making the month of March Neighbour Month to help raise awareness of being neighbourly. If you'd like to make a difference, please join us. We'd love your help. Check out our website for some great neighbourly projects in the month of March and also check out Neighbour Day to find out more about it!
