Become a volunteer

Volunteers are always needed.

Volunteer activities at the National Office include maintaining membership databases, distribution of information, helping with the journal Australasian Plant Conservation, updating the website, and helping organise conferences, courses and seminars. The scope of the work can be varied to suit your skills and interest, and being based at the Australian National Botanic Gardens, the National Office is a great place to work - volunteers will receive a free parking permit for the gardens. All help is greatly appreciated.

If you don't live in Canberra, or aren't interested in remote work for the National Office, we can probably put you in contact with someone active in plant conservation in your area.
