Customer service positions are also needed in the motor and tractor museums and garden maintenance within the Children’s Forest.

Manager Steve Lowe said volunteers were a “huge asset” to Whiteman Park as they helped with events including planting days, guided bush walks and school holiday programs.

“Volunteering is a great way to try new skills, meet like-minded people, and get involved in park events and projects,” he said.

“Our volunteers say they really feel a sense of accomplishment after giving back to the community and love being able to take part in new experiences and develop new skills.”

National Volunteer Week runs from May 21-27.
