The Pekoe Trail Volunteer Consultants

The Pekoe Trail benefits from the support of volunteer consultants who generously contribute their time, expertise and professional knowledge to strengthen the organisation. These individuals bring skills in areas such as conservation, community development, digital platforms, tourism management, communications and field operations. Their work helps TPTO address complex challenges, improve systems and build capacity across the trail ecosystem.

Volunteer consultants play an important role in supporting a sustainable and community centred model for the trail. Their guidance helps us refine our operational practices, strengthen partnerships and enhance the experience for hikers and communities along the route.
