Get involved with The Wilderness Society

These TWS volunteers and Community Campaigners came together for a training workshop in Newcastle in 2007 - The Wilderness Society Collection

Volunteers are a fundamental part of The Wilderness Society and much of The Wilderness Society's work is performed by volunteers.

People come from all walks of life, with energy, ideas, skills or just an interest, all of which eminently help The Wilderness Society with its aim to protect, promote and preserve wilderness.

Since the early years of the Franklin campaign, community members from across Australia from all walks of life have put their energy, ideas and skills towards protecting, promoting and restoring wilderness for future generations.

Contact your local campaign centre to find out how you can be involved.

The annual Environment Award, inaugurated in 1994, is open to fiction and non-fiction children's books published in Australia. Award trophies and certificates are presented to authors and illustrators who best encourage an attitude of caring, wonder and understanding of the natural environment, or those that promote an awareness of environmental issues.
