[Volunteers Home]

Discover more about your local park by becoming a volunteer or joining a friends group. Volunteering is a great way to meet people. You can get involved in important projects to help conserve and protect our natural environment.

Anyone can become a friend. Friends groups are active in parks across Victoria . Some groups have formal membership, but it is not necessary to belong to a group to join in its activities - visitors are welcome.

Parks Victoria's volunteers conduct a range of activities including:

  • seed collecting and plant propagation
  • fencing
  • garden bed maintenance
  • litter collection
  • GPS monitoring and data collection
  • track inspections
  • administration
  • research and survey work
  • communication and awareness raising
  • visitor information
  • nature rambles and guided walks.

Opportunities to establish a new friends group for one of Victoria 's new Marine National Parks or Marine Sanctuaries are available.

Further information about volunteering in Victoria 's parks is available from the Volunteer with Parks Victoria park note or call 13 1963.

For more information or assistance with establishing a Friends group visit the Victorian Friends Network website.
