Volunteer
Ready to take your 'green' out of the house and into the neighbourhood? Stuck on where to start? What to get the kids out of the house and meet some like-minded neighbours?
How about giving up a bit of your time volunteer for an environmental organisation or project in your community?
You might be after fresh air and getting your hands dirty planting trees and getting involved in revegetation projects.
Or maybe you're interested in native bird and animal conservation.
Or maybe you might think your talents would be put to better use in an office, helping out a green organisation with their day-to-day office tasks.
We've done some research on where you can get involved and who you can get involved with for either option. Visit the links on the following pages and make it happen.
