Volunteering

Home to beautiful landscapes and unique flora and fauna, our reservoir reserves are open for everyone to enjoy and explore.

Preserving their natural beauty remains vital as people enjoy these spaces for a range of recreational activities.

It’s our shared responsibility to foster a healthy and sustainable environment, and apart from doing your bit when you visit, there are opportunities for you to get more hands on.

Through our volunteering program, you can join a group of like-minded people playing an active part in caring for your local reservoir reserve. As a volunteer, you’ll work alongside other volunteers, as well as SA Water, to care for the reserves and enhance the experience for visitors.

Volunteering opportunities are available at Barossa, Happy Valley, Hope Valley, Mount Bold, Myponga, South Para and Warren reservoir reserves, each tailored to the local environment and recreational activities at each site, and may include

• habitat improvement and weed control
• revegetation, involving seed collection, propagation and planting
• sharing information and displays at community events
• biodiversity research, including flora and fauna identification, surveys and monitoring
• reservoir fish stocking.

Thank you for your interest in the Reservoir Volunteer Program. Volunteer applications are temporarily closed. If you would like to be notified when applications are open, please email reservoirs@sawater.com.au.
