Conservation in New Zealand
Earthwise Valley is a New Zealand based, charitable, volunteer run, sustainable living project. It is based in Tuateawa, a rare haven for nature with rain forest running continuously from mountain top all the way down to the Pacific ocean. Volunteers undertake environmental service work - planting trees, ecological surveys and pest trapping. While it is more expensive than other projects on Job splitters, it offers the opportunity to experience a remote area of New Zealand. The fees also do not go towards profit!
