About Us
Join us in protecting Wadeson Island's unique habitat! We focus on activities like planting, weeding, track maintenance, and fish monitoring.
We meet somewhere on the first Saturday of every month at 2PM and volunteer until 4PM. Other commitments and unfavourable weather sometimes move the event to another day. We would love to have you on board! To receive updates about working bees, contact us using the form below.
This site and the related program is run by members of the public. It is not run or funded by Conservation Volunteers New Zealand, the Department of Conservation, The Westland District Council, or The West Coast Regional Council. However, we would like to acknowledge all the conservation and beautification work that these and other organisations have put in over the years.
If you are interested in funding regular activities on Wadeson Island such as regular or large-scale work, reach out! We will connect you to an organisation with the resources and infrastructure to make it happen.
