What our volunteers say
Robert - Manager, solution consulting
‘I’m a regular volunteer with NPWS. This is my third outing with the wonderful NPWS corporate volunteer program. Every time we connect as part of this program we come together and learn more about our biodiversity and cultural history. It’s a great way to build stronger connections amongst our teams while doing good cleaning up the environment, giving back and ultimately having a material impact. My hope is that the land and environment we enjoy today can be equally celebrated for generations to come.’
Rena - Sales engagement manager
‘This has been such a phenomenal day! I really feel we’ve made such an impact by cleaning plastics and rubbish from the beach. We can see the difference already after just a few hours’ cleaning up. The NPWS staff have been absolutely fantastic, very friendly, very knowledgeable and have taught us about the environment, sustainability and our impact.’
Jason - Senior technical consultant
'I enjoyed my volunteer experience with National Parks and Wildlife Service out here because it’s a very meaningful way to contribute to the environment. It has been a great way to meet a lot of colleagues face to face, because I work remotely. It’s good to be away from my desk and help contribute to a better environment.'
Danielle - Senior engagement manager
‘[We’ve had] a wonderful time learning about biodiversity, conservation and how to make the world a better place. It’s also given us the opportunity to patch up some of the damage that, as humans, we are doing in the world. I would highly recommend an activity with the NPWS corporate volunteer program if you wanted your teams to evolve and perform better while making a positive impact on our society and the community.’
