Hello,
I am the Volunteer Engagement Officer for a NFP organisation called Conservation Volunteers Australia.
A link to our website is here for your referral
Conservation Volunteers has a number of projects in the Newnes State Forest and Capertee valley area early this year.
We are looking for volunteers to join our projects.
Just briefly an outline of what we are doing.
We have a project schedules at Capertee valley 7-11th May (to be confirmed) again we would like to supplement with local residents or other interested volunteers.
This is a project with Birds Australia
The aim of this project is to add vital capacity to the Capertee Valley Regent Honeyeater Recovery Program. This is a highly respected, established program which undertakes native wildlife corridor plantings in the Capertee Valley to benefit both the critically endangered Regent Honey-eater in its global stronghold and a suite of other vulnerable listed woodland bird species. This project will significantly boost the outcomes of the existing program by undertaking vital maintenance weeding works on existing plantings plus undertaking significant additional native plantings. The project is a collaboration of local landowners, NPWS, Birds Australia and volunteers.
The Newnes SF project will ideally have some non local participants staying with CVA in accommodation in Lithgow.
We would like to have additional local residents and other interested party volunteers.
Project description on our website:-
19-23 March
10-14 April
16-20 April
Join Conservation Volunteers Australia working on the doorstep of the wonderful Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. Newnes State Forest sits on the western edge Blue Mountains, its picturesque forests and heaths are home to a wide range of threatened wildlife including the iconic gang-gang, the cockatoo of the mountains! Nestling between forested hills, the town of Lithgow will be our base & we will head each out day to undertake valuable nature conservation works such as the removal of exotic pine seedlings in the snow gum & scribbly gum forests of the Newnes plateau.
