Volunteers with Jerrabomberra Wetlands are on the front lines of conservation.
be a part of citizen science
We have a range of opportunities across our two sites: Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary and Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve. Together they protect over 1500 hectares of the Australian Capital Territory’s most significant landscapes.
Our volunteers help with a wide range of tasks and activities. Opportunities are often seasonal and require varying levels and types of skill, experience, availability and fitness.
If you would like to apply to volunteer with the Woodlands and Wetlands Trust please register your interest on our volunteer database.
Wildlife Monitoring
Help us monitor the incredible species that call Jerra home. We use multiple methods to monitor species at the wetlands such as the Latham’s Snipe and turtle patrol. Some tasks involve handling animals.
Land Conservation and Maintenance
Activities vary depending on the season and are coordinated by Rangers at both Jerrabomberra Wetlands and Mulligans Flat. To learn more about becoming a ParkCare volunteer, register with our partners ACT Parks and Conservation at the ParkCare Hub
Team Building & Corporate Volunteering
Bring your team out on social impact days to Jerrabomberra Wetlands, and get your hands dirty helping out in this novel ecosystem. Participate in team building activities or guided tours with our ecologists.
How much does corporate volunteering cost?
Prices are $30 per person.
Why is there a cost involved?
As a charity, we need to ensure that we are always working in a way which is sustainable and cost-effective.
The fee associated with corporate volunteering days covers the cost of staff time to facilitate the program.
Is catering provided?
Catering can be organised for an extra cost.
What kind of activities can my team do?
Activities vary according to the season but can include wildlife monitoring, removing invasive plant species, revegetation, turtle patrol, and wading out into our ponds to help with reed control.
What should I bring?
You are most likely to need long pants, sturdy shoes, gardening gloves, be sun smart, and bring your own water and snacks. WWT staff will inform you of the appropriate clothing for the activity you will be doing.
