⭐Volunteer of the Month ⭐

This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Rob from Wakefield Engineering, who has become an incredibly valued part of the Natureland whānau.

Rob has generously donated his time, skills, materials and resources to help us with countless projects around the park. Most recently, he has been responsible for building the internal structures for our new Capuchin habitat and is now working on the new off-display Capuchin enclosure. We simply wouldn’t have been able to complete the Capuchin project without his help.

Rob’s support doesn’t stop with the monkeys! He has also helped with renovations to our Kea aviary, repaired our front gate, and tackled countless other metal and steel jobs whenever we’ve needed an extra pair of highly skilled hands. His willingness to help, problem-solve and put his expertise to work for Natureland has made a huge difference to our animals, our team and the park as a whole.

A huge thank you, Rob, for everything you do for Natureland. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, your skills and the many hours you have given to help us make Natureland a better place. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🐒❤️
