Take part in threatened plant surveys or practical conservation work, either through one of our Regional Groups , or by joining one of the many activities listed on our Plant Conservation Resource Directory events page Become a volunteer Volunteers are always needed, both in the ANPC National Office, as well as to help with Regional Group activities. Volunteer activities at the National Office include maintaining membership databases, distribution of information, helping with the newsletter Danthonia , 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. Regional group activities vary from group to group, and we are always looking for Regional Group coordinators for new areas too.
Volunteers benefit through contact with a wide network of plant practitioners.
The work is an opportunity to gain exposure to the conservation industry and to develop skills, all of which may increase future employment opportunities. Regular volunteers also receive training and free ANPC membership for the duration of their commitment.
