Volunteer at the Nursery!

​The nursery operates completely on volunteer labour.
We collect seeds, apply appropriate treatment, sow seeds and pot out seedlings when they are ready.
​When the seedlings are large enough, our revegetation team plants them in the field during our regular tree plantings. There's plenty to learn and do, all while having good chat and a cuppa afterwards!
Experience & training

​No experience is necessary to volunteer for nursery or planting days. More experienced nursery volunteers will train you on the job. We also have an educational DVD on techniques on growing and planting natives. 

Trees for the Community 

The majority of plants we propagate are suitable for revegetation in the Kuranda area.
A number of the plants we propagate are suitable for residential blocks, especially for attracting butterflies and birds. We will exchange plants for seeds that we need, for your time as a volunteer in the nursery, or for your time on revegetation or other Envirocare volunteer activities.
