Boundary Stream Mainland Island encompasses the 800 hectare Boundary Stream Scenic Reserve situated on the eastern flanks of the Maungaharuru Range, about 60 km northwest of Napier. It spans and represents a whole altitudinal sequence from lowland forest to montane forest environments.
There are a range of volunteer opportunities at Boundary Stream Mainland Island project.
We are keen to train regular volunteers to monitor species and act as guides. We also welcome longer term volunteers to help with a range of field duties. Accommodation and a food allowance are provided for a minimum stay of 6 weeks.
