Sign up for a summer holiday with a difference: The Department of
Conservation is offering volunteers two week?s free accommodation at two
prime holiday destinations in the Egmont National Park ? Holly Hut (4-8
Dec 2006) and Lake Dive hut (12-16 Feb 2007). Volunteers will get first
hand experience at hut and track maintenance. Previous experience with a
paint brush and outdoor work would be an advantage. You will also get to
experience the magic of monitoring kiwi calls at night and surveying for a
threatened plant found only on Egmont. Volunteers will need to provide
their own tramping equipment, wet weather and sleeping gear. You will be
supplied with food, tools for the job and supervision.
Contact Neville Parminter, 06-765 5144 or for more
information and for an application form. Numbers will be strictly
limited.
