looking for conservation or permaculture work around Dunedin
Description
I am French travelling in New Zealand for almost a year. I have been learning about conservation, I have done trapping, weeding, and planting of native trees. I have also done some work around native plant greenhouses and vegetable gardens, learning how to grow and care for the plants. I am interested in continuing to do more conservation work.

I have learned a lot about New Zealand’s wildlife and plants. I am a beginner in wildlife photography. I love to go hiking and observe wildlife. I also like to cook and bake and will be happy to learn new recipes.

Left by host (Animal care and property ...) for Workawayer (Lucile)

Lucille helped us here at the peak end of winter when animal care can be more demanding. I will especially remember her determination to keep the pigs from escaping their areas by securing their fences a lot better. It worked and she succeeded out there in the worst weather. She easily managed all the routine animal feeding and clean-up work and… read more

I had a great time in the month I stayed at Mark’s. The main job was weeding old man’s beard, blackberry, and elderberry. It was quite satisfying to see the progress! I also dug out potatoes, moved some fire wood, weeded in the vegetable garden, picked apples, and fed the ducks. Mark is very chill and is always making sure we are comfortable. He… read more

I had a great time at Nicki and Richard’s! They immediately made me feel at home. Weeding around the native trees, cutting pine trees, and planting new trees were very satisfying. I enjoyed learning about seeding native trees, as well as herbs and vegetables for the garden, pruning apple and pear trees, preparing asparagus beds, making compost… read more

Lucile is a talented amateur nature photographer and has a sound knowledge of NZ ecology. She completed a number of projects including planting, weeding, weed-mat cutting & nursery work. Lucile was open to learning more about planting & native ecology, and she was very kind with our dogs, Fred, Bluey and Ash.

(Very good )
