Thanks to volunteers just like you, we are closer to achieving our vision of Tasmania becoming a global leader in nature conservation and sustainability.
Important Notice
Supporting COVID-19 containment efforts requires everyone, including TLC staff and volunteers, to minimise contact with others. With this in mind, volunteering that involves contact with staff and other stakeholders (i.e. on-reserve or in-office participation) has been suspended until further notice. Offsite volunteering where volunteers are already trained and able to work independently, such as ecological monitoring scoring, can continue. We will reactivate our volunteer program when it is safe to do so in line with State and Federal government guidelines. Thanks for your understanding.
General Information
Our community of committed volunteers are vital to the success of our conservation work. Our volunteers contribute valuable effort, skills and expertise across all areas of the organisation including science projects, ecological monitoring, reserve management activities, governance, event support, mail outs, photography and much more.
Involving volunteers in our conservation work also greatly reduces our costs. For example, during 2017-2018, 190 individual volunteers contributed 935.47 days of work which is equivalent to $263,503.11 worth of paid work. We are enormously grateful for this contribution.
Volunteering with us is a great way to:
- participate in achieving the TLC’s nature conservation goals
- experience the TLC’s magnificent reserves up close
- be active and increase your well-being
- meet like-minded people and make new friends
- develop and enhance valuable skills
- become a citizen scientist
- support the TLC in kind
