Conservation Volunteering Program

 Conservation Volunteering Program

The last year my friends and I took part in a volunteering program to help the New Zealand’s environment, to get to New Zealand we took a flight, when we arrive to the airport the weather was really warm so we didn’t need to bring any coat or jacket, as soon as arrived the people from the organization took us to a hostel where we stayed for the 5 days of de volunteering.

After one day of orientation we start working from 8 am to 4 pm doing different activities like helping boost native biodiversity and provide additional habitat for native birds by removing exotic weeds which threaten to swamp native plantings, planting trees in different locations, cleaning forests and parks, we also help making and improving the habitat for rare fishes.

In our free time we were able to visit the big cities and do activities like tourism around the cities, we visited some natural attractions like the Kitekite Falls and  Manukau Heads where we could visit the lighthouse which has some amazing views, finally some friends from New Zealand took us on a night trip to visit some nightclubs and bars. It was a 

beautiful time
