Volunteers' Perspective

Instead of us doing all the talking, we decided to ask our fabulous volunteers to give us some feedback about their experience volunteering for the working bees at Waratah Park. Here are some of their responses:

Why did you choose Sydney Wildlife’s facility at Waratah Park to volunteer at?

I received an invite to attend and since I like being out in nature I thought it was worth trying it out.
I always love to do something related to Wildlife and Environment to keep this world a better place for our kids. Keeping that in mind, I opt to volunteer at Waratah Park.
A strong passion for caring for the environment, including both bush care and native wildlife preservation

2. How many times have you volunteered there?

4 times
5 times
Around 20
10+

3. Do you plan to continue volunteering there?

Absolutely! It is so nice to see the progress every time we are there, it really feels like we are making a difference.
Without doubt. There is much work to be done and being able to return each month and see the park in action, rehabilitating injured native animals in enclosures that we have built is very rewarding.

4. What do you enjoy about volunteering at Waratah Park?

It’s out in nature and helping local animals that get very little/no funding makes it a worthy cause. To spend a day out of the office with Dell’s blessing makes work more enjoyable (even though the emails have piled up afterwards).
It makes me happy as I get chance to do some work that brings me close to nature, Also it’s an opportunity to meet different people and work with them.
The social interaction, teamwork, communicating with colleagues outside of the office environment.
The sense of camaraderie, of working towards a collective purpose

5. Is there any other feedback you would like to give about the Sydney Wildlife facility at Waratah Park?

The event is very well organized and efficient. All the volunteers are helpful and friendly which makes the day so much fun. It’s also great for networking.
It’s a great facility and a brilliant location to rehabilitate native animals. I hope Sydney wildlife can continue to operate out of the park and continue to build new enclosures and maintain the facilities.
Thank you for the great work you do day in and day out – the world needs more people like the volunteers at Sydney Wildlife

We hope that all the people that volunteer their time to help us keep the facility maintained and functional continue to enjoy the experience like those above.

If your company is interested in volunteering at Waratah Park please contact us through www.sydneywildlife.org.au

The time and energy you all put in is outstanding and we are truly greatful.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas and thank you to our supporters.
