Volunteering opportunities

Volunteers are vital to the success of NSW national parks. By lending a hand, you'll forge a deeper connection with our environment and help protect it for future generations. Imagine learning bush skills directly from park rangers, while exploring some of the most breathtaking landscapes in NSW alongside fellow nature enthusiasts. Volunteering offers a fantastic opportunity to gain new skills and meet like-minded people.

Ready to get involved? Join a local bush regeneration team, organise a corporate volunteering day for your company or become a tour guide.
