Immerse yourself in nature and make a real difference with the Bush Regeneration volunteer sessions at Sweetwater Creek Nature Reserve. These sessions offer a wonderful opportunity for families and individuals to contribute to the restoration of local bushland, fostering a healthier environment for native wildlife and plants.
Join a friendly and dedicated group of volunteers who work together to protect and regenerate the natural habitat. Activities include removing invasive species, planting native vegetation, and maintaining the reserve’s ecological balance. The sessions are hands-on and suitable for all fitness levels, making it a perfect outdoor activity for parents and school-aged children.
The sessions are held weekly on Thursday mornings from 09:00 to 11:00 and monthly on the first Saturday of each month during the same hours. Volunteers are encouraged to wear comfortable outdoor clothing, bring gloves, water, and sun protection. Tools and guidance are provided by experienced group members to ensure a safe and productive experience.
