Volunteer Rainforest Regenerator

ReForest Now Mullumbimby, Byron Bay

Job Description

We are looking for volunteers to help us on our tree planting days and in our native rainforest nursery.

  • PLEASE NOTE – this is an UNPAID position

On planting days you will join our planting team where we head out to various sites around the Northern Rivers region and plant a diverse range of native rainforest species on degraded landscapes. Planting season runs from around September to June depending on weather patterns.

In the nursery you will work closely with our local experts who have a wealth of knowledge of endemic plants and years of experience in Big Scrub regeneration, seed collection, seed germination/propagation and potting techniques. The efficiency of our nursery is imperative to ensure that we can keep supplying trees to the community and to our planting team for local reforestation sites.

A little bit about us:
ReForest Now an active not-for-profit organisation on a mission to restore
Australia’s historic Big Scrub Rainforest, which was once the largest expanse of
subtropical rainforest in the country. Regrettably, over the past two centuries,
more than 99% of this remarkable ecosystem has been cleared. Our role in the
regeneration of this ecosystem involves conducting large scale plantings of
high-diversity rainforest and to date we have planted over 880,000 trees. We
have a dedicated Rainforest Nursery in the heart of Mullumbimby which
supplies native plants to the community and to our reforestation sites.

We look forward to having you onboard!
