    Rural Areas

Durations of Program: 1-2 weeks, 2-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks and 9-12 weeks
Typical Duration of Program: 1-2 weeks
Dates: 1-12 weeks program length

Description: Due to Australia's vast range of landscapes, including its world-famous Great Barrier Reef, outback, rainforests, and highlands, there are endless types of environmental conservation and animal rescue projects seeking help from volunteers around the world. Projects exist in both urban and rural areas of the country and usually last for 1-2 weeks, meaning that within a 4 week trip you will be exposed to 3-4 projects in different locations.
Depending on the particular project, you may be involved in:

    * Tree planting
    * Erosion and salinity control
    * Seed collection
    * Habitat restoration
    * Fence building/repair
    * Path construction/maintenance
    * Animal rescue and conservation
    * Beach clean up
    * Heritage protection
    * Flora and fauna surveys

Specific project placements are designated upon arrival and depend on seasonal conditions and where volunteers are needed most at that particular time.
