Volunteers

Fordsdale Volunteers

Fordsdale is always looking for enthusiastic and energetic volunteers who wish to gain work experience at the property. Volunteers are involved in many aspects of day-to-day operations, depending on their individual background, skills, confidence levels, interests etc.

There are 2 main pathways for people interested in volunteer work at Fordsdale:

  1. ↓ WWOOF’ers
  2. ↓ Teens 16+ yrs

What You can Experience

This could be feeding and looking after animals, fixing fences and gates, in fact it could be many different things. One example could be helping to chop “Lantana”. This grows as a pest on our property. But if you suffer from allergies we have other suitable activities.
