You will be given the option of registering for another holiday of your choice, or receiving a credit or refund.

What do I need to bring?
Each conservation holiday is unique and there may be different items you'll be asked to bring. For example, you'll need to bring a tent and sleeping bag for holidays that require camping.

After you sign up for your Conservation Holiday a list of the items you need to bring will be sent to you.

In general, all tools necessary for the work are provided by TLC however, some holidays have a list of tools you could bring if you like.

What do we eat?
All meals will be provided for with conservation holiday participants helping to cook and wash up on a rotation system under the leaders' co-ordination (unless otherwise indicated). Food is wholesome, tasty, and fresh. If you follow a vegetarian or special diet, please indicate this on your enrolment form. We easily accommodate vegetarian requests.

Can I bring my dog? She really is a good dog, I swear.
We believe you. Your dog is a good dog. But, we regret that pets cannot be brought to conservation holidays due to the nature of the work sites and the unsuitability of the accommodations.
