A FREE 5-part email series to help us prioritise our wellbeing,
Everyday, nearly 20,000 Australian volunteers start and end their day caring for our native wildlife…
How do we enable this vital community service to continue?
“Wildlife caring certainly taught me that I do not have infinite resources. I have had times when I’ve been really down and going through the motions.”
– Wildlife Volunteer, NSW
As wildlife volunteers, we offer unceasing assistance to native animals that are sick, injured or orphaned, so that they can eventually be released back into their natural environment.
Support to our wildlife, now and into the future, depends on us being there to offer the best of ourselves. We can help more animals if we are physically and mentally healthy.
Join us to build fitness for a long game…
‘Refill Your Bucket’ is a call to action for wildlife volunteers to prioritise their own well-being, so we can keep supporting the wildlife that need us.
Two Green Threads is on a mission to inspire, support and rejuvenate the many individuals who invest so much of themselves helping native wildlife.
We acknowledge that the role of a wildlife volunteer can be a journey of extremes – reward and fulfilment, alongside relentless effort and possibly grief – moments that give, and moments that take.
Each day and week will vary, and our non-wildlife moments also contribute to our volunteering energy, outlook, nervous systems and overall well-being. The experiences, occasions and intensity which fills or empties our buckets are unique to each of us.
Let’s recognise that we have a bucket and that there must be a conscious effort to refill.
Let’s Refill Our Bucket…
To keep saving our native wildlife, we need to save a bit of ourselves.
If these phrases are a familiar thought pattern, then we invite you to go on a journey with us. Our FREE 5-part email series is aimed at helping to acknowledge meaningful steps towards understanding and refilling your bucket. Each email will be sent to you a week apart, giving you time to reflect on its content.
