Children’s Books Creators for Conservation Volunteer Trip with Wild Tomorrow


In October of 2023, the CBCC will be setting forth on their first volunteer trip in South Africa with Wild Tomorrow, a United States (501c3)/South African (PBO) nonprofit that is working to expand wild places, protect wildlife, and support local communities in one of the most biodiverse hotspots in the world.

A few of the conservation-focused opportunities could include assisting at the local Zulu orphanage and creche (preschool), searching alongside a team of rangers for snares laid by poachers, removing invasive species from reclaimed land, banding birds for research, endangered species conservation interventions such as rhino trimming, visiting a local rhino orphanage and more.

In addition to their volunteer work, the team will also work creatively in the bush itself, sketching, photographing, writing and collaborating with the intention of cultivating conservation focused stories to bring home and share with young readers everywhere.
