Conservation Volunteering - Brisbane region

Daisy Hill Koala Bushland is a core koala habitat area in South East Queensland. Part of the larger bushland is Daisy Hill Conservation Park, a significant 571 ha site which is comprised of open eucalypt and casuarina forest and provides important linking habitat for threatened species, including the koala and the glossy black cockatoo. At Daisy Hill, Conservation Volunteers Australia works cooperatively with the Queensland Government to restore and monitor koala habitat. Our aim is to establish habitat, remove invasive plants that obstruct animal movement and damage native vegetation and identify plants requiring protection. The key habitat restoration activities that employees may assist with include; weed removal, tree planting and general maintenance of existing planted areas.

What a day looks like
A corporate volunteering day typically runs from around 9:00 am to 3:00 pm (excluding travel time) with morning, afternoon and lunch breaks, however we can tailor an itinerary to suit your individual needs - for example, developing a half-day activity.
We run these days throughout the year and numbers can vary from small groups between 5-10 up to much large group sizes (please ensure you let us know your group size on your application and then we can discuss appropriate locations).

Contribution
To deliver your tailored corporate volunteering day we ask for a contribution to help us cover our operating costs. The contributions we seek is $2,000 for a team of up to 10. Teams greater than 10 can also be catered for at $150 p/person.
For your volunteer day, Conservation Volunteers will coordinate and provide:
  • Promotional information to help recruit volunteers for your day, including project overview, what to bring and wear, itinerary of the day and registration process
  • A dedicated team leader to supervise the volunteers (every team leader is qualified in Work Health and Safety, first aid and defensive driving and have a background in practical conservation)
  • A comprehensive introduction to the project and explanation of its significance and purpose so your employees understand the importance of the activities they are doing

  • Team vehicle to transport up to 9 people from an agreed pick-up point to and from the project site
