Become a Volunteer
Help protect one of Melbourne's most treasured bushland reserves. Volunteers contribute to environmental education, bushland restoration, wildlife monitoring, and community events.
How it Works
Whether you have a few hours a month or more time to give, your involvement supports the health of the Mullum Mullum Valley and helps others connect with its natural beauty.
While no experience is generally required to get involved, we’re happy to work with you to explore your interests and skills and find ways you can contribute. At times, however, some volunteer activities may rely on specific skills or expertise.
Current Opportunities
We are currently seeking volunteers to help with the following.
Working bees
Hands-on bushland care alongside other volunteers — planting, weeding, and maintaining tracks in the reserve.
Microscope dust cover
Make a heavy-duty fitted dust cover for our digital microscope — a one-off project for someone handy with sewing or upholstery.
Social media
Help share the story of Yarran Dheran online — posting updates, photos, and news from the reserve.
Administration
Support the committee with general administrative tasks — a flexible role suited to anyone with organisational skills.
Completing our collections
Help us source missing items from collections held by the committee — including the Tuckfields Bird Card Series.
Wattles of Yarran Dheran brochure
Help develop a new brochure documenting the wattle species found in the reserve — a project for someone with research, writing, or design skills.
