The main aim of the project is to assist St. Eustatius National Parks Foundation with the conservation of their two parks – the Marine Park and the Quill National Park. You will have the opportunity to acquire new skills and knowledge about conservation, the local flora and fauna of Statia and take part in trail work and species monitoring in the parks.
Dates: Volunteers can join from 1 month to 6 months all year round, every year!
Volunteers are needed to work for the majority of the time on trail building in the Quill National Park, completing the Botanical Garden Project and on turtle monitoring in Statia’s Marine Park ( if you join the project from November to March, you will not be turtle monitoring on the beach, as the nesting season runs from March to November only – instead you will assisting on in-water turtle surveys and also focusing on trail work, species monitoring and botanical gardening).
