Immerse yourself in a rewarding community activity where you can make a tangible difference in local biodiversity. Alison Road Parkcare invites families and individuals to volunteer in transforming a once-weedy area into a thriving native garden.
This program is perfect for parents looking to engage their school-aged children in outdoor environmental stewardship. Volunteers work alongside Council's Bushcare officer, gaining hands-on experience in habitat restoration.
Expect a friendly, supportive environment where you can learn about native plants and weed management while enjoying fresh air and community spirit.
Sessions occur every month on the 4th Thursday from 13:00 to 15:00, continuing until 26 November 2026. Activities include removing invasive weeds, planting native species, and maintaining the garden.
Volunteers should wear suitable outdoor clothing and bring water, gloves, and sun protection. No prior experience is necessary, making it accessible for all skill levels.
Bookings are essential and can be made by calling the Council's Bushcare Officer or emailing the provided contact.
The sessions take place at the corner of Alison Road and Beach Street, Coogee, located at the northern end of Coogee. This site is easily accessible and offers a beautiful setting for outdoor volunteering.
Parking and public transport options are available nearby, making it convenient for families to attend.
The area has been transformed from a rubble heap into a flourishing native garden, showcasing the impact of community effort.
Volunteering involves physical activity such as digging and planting, so participants should be prepared for light to moderate outdoor work.
Children must be supervised by their parents or guardians at all times during the sessions.
The program emphasizes environmental education and community involvement, fostering a sense of stewardship for local natural spaces.
Participation is free of charge. To book your spot, call the Council's Bushcare Officer at 02 9399 6708 or email bushcare@randwick.nsw.gov.au.
