Become part of a dedicated community effort to transform Alison Road Park from a weedy rubble heap into a thriving native garden. Volunteers work alongside the Council's Bushcare officer to nurture local biodiversity and create inviting green spaces.
Each session offers hands-on activities such as planting native species, removing invasive weeds, and maintaining the park's natural beauty. It's a rewarding way to connect with nature and contribute to environmental sustainability.
Whether you're an experienced gardener or new to bushcare, you'll find a welcoming environment and the chance to learn about native plants and habitat restoration.

- Suitable for adults and families interested in environmental volunteering.
