Tauranga is lucky to have some incredible coastal and wetland reserves — and we’d love your help to keep them thriving. Council is looking for volunteers to get stuck in to support our City Operations team to maintain our city’s much-loved spaces and places. As a volunteer, you could be planting natives, helping with maintenance and monitoring, restoring or monitoring wetlands, dunes or natural environments. If you’d like to donate your time, skills, knowledge or enthusiasm to help with this work, we want to hear from you.
