Volunteers are a vital part of the Kea Conservation Trust. All our trustees, specialist advisors and operational committee members are volunteers freely giving their time each month to ensure the smooth running of the Trust. Additionally, our community volunteers are our eyes and ears in the Southern Alps, and our voice for kea. Communities working together are what save environments and species. Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and ages, providing a range of skills for single tasks or projects, through to providing on-going operational support across years. We are now in the process of developing a new volunteer database to ensure all offers of help are maximised in future so, if you have any of the
following skills (or are just keen to be our eyes and ears in the mountains), please contact us: education, research, data entry, administration, publishing, marketing, fundraising, advocacy, book-keeping, graphic design, IT, writing and more, are all skills we need here at the KCT. CALL US IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN OUR TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS We would love to hear from you! Special thanks this year go to our hard working Summer Survey field volunteers (listed in our Kea Survey article), our operational volunteers including Chris Hay, Lady Joy Williams, Dr Yuki Fukuda, Kay Davidson, Maree Goldring and Emily Murray, and to those of you who have helped spread the conservation message for kea (with particular thanks to Martin Curtis).

Can you help with funding?
Continued funding of important research projects and initiating conservation actions is imperative to ensure the kea’s continued survival in the wild. If you or your organisation can help us achieve these aims, we would love to hear from you.
