Volunteer Information Session
Volunteers are the heart of Environs Kimberley! Each person contributes in their own way to protecting the nature of the Kimberley. We welcome all (seasoned Volunteers and new) to join us at this year's Volunteer Information Session.
You will hear from EK's CEO, Andrew Batt, and our passionate staff about the projects you can get involved with in 2024!
This is a great opportunity to meet like minded people and ask any questions you may have about our current campaign progress. Nibbles will be provided.
Whether you are interested in seagrass monitoring, weeding or planting with SKIPA, helping out at Broome Courthouse markets or the excitement of our fundraising events and campaigns, we have something for you.
If you have any questions please contact Eliza at [email protected] or phone (08) 9192 1922.
We look forward to seeing you there!
