Volunteering is a fun team-building experience that connects your people with nature, community groups and each other.
Being out in nature is good for wellbeing and mental health. It’s good for business, too. Research shows nearly 90% of employees say volunteering influences their decision to stay in a role or accept a new one*.
We’ll connect you with trusted and impactful nature projects that align with your business values and help co-ordinate your activities. You pay a fixed fee just like you would for any other team-building day. Your investment covers the costs to host your volunteer day and provides extra funding to on-the-ground nature groups.

Meaningful team-building experience

Be seen as a purpose-driven organisation

Hosting a volunteer day takes time, materials and money. Your support will cover these costs. Plus it provides extra funding to enable groups to keep doing what they do best - regenerating nature.
Nature in Aotearoa New Zealand is critically underfunded. A recent WWF report states we need $22.5 billion per year in investment to meet our global nature conservation targets**. This volunteer programme provides a new and vital income stream to ensure community groups continue their urgent mahi.
As well as funds for plants and mats, working with SBN meant we gained access to corporate groups that contributed hours of voluntary labour. It was great to see the enthusiasm for the area and the project grow as the corporate groups started to see their work making a visible difference.

Participating in the Puhinui Regeneration Project was incredibly rewarding. We planted trees, helping to restore the local ecosystem. It was a great way to connect with nature, learn about enviromental conservation and contribute to a sustainable future.
