Immerse yourself in nature and make a real difference by volunteering in the bushcare program at Long Bay. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with the environment and learn about local indigenous plants and ecosystems.
You will work alongside the Council's Bushcare Officer to help regenerate the bushland, focusing on removing invasive weeds and planting native species that thrive in coastal conditions.
This hands-on experience is perfect for parents and children who enjoy outdoor activities and want to contribute to preserving an endangered ecological community.
The program runs monthly on the first Tuesday from 09:00 to 12:00, continuing until 1 December 2026. Volunteers will target weeds such as Salpichroa and Acetosa and assist with planting along the foreshore.
The site is located on the southern section of Long Bay, an area known for its endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS).
No prior experience is necessary, and all ages are welcome to participate in this rewarding environmental activity.
Meet on the grass area opposite 9 Bay Parade, Malabar, within the Long Bay area. The site is exposed to coastal onshore winds, so dress appropriately for outdoor work.
The location is accessible by car and public transport, with ample space to gather safely while maintaining social distancing.
Volunteers should bring water, sun protection, and wear sturdy footwear suitable for outdoor terrain.
Bookings are essential to join the program. Please contact the Council's Bushcare Officer by phone or email to secure your spot.
The program focuses on conservation and requires physical activity, so participants should be prepared for light to moderate outdoor work.
This is a fantastic way for families to engage in environmental stewardship and learn about local biodiversity.
To book your place, call the Council's Bushcare Officer on 02 9399 6708 or email bushcare@randwick.nsw.gov.au.
Participation is free of charge, making it an accessible and meaningful activity for all community members.
Spaces may be limited, so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
