Immerse yourself in nature by volunteering at Fred Hollows Reserve, a rare rainforest gully in Sydney's metro area. This unique environment features the last open creek line in the Eastern suburbs, offering a special setting for bushcare activities.
Volunteers will engage in removing invasive weeds and planting native species to help restore this precious ecosystem. It's a rewarding hands-on experience that benefits local biodiversity and the community.
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or new to bushcare, you'll find the sessions fulfilling and a great way to connect with nature and like-minded people.
The bushcare sessions occur monthly on the second Wednesday, running from 09:00 to 12:00. The program is scheduled from 2026-09-09 through to 2026-12-09.
Each session is guided by Council's Bushcare Officers who provide expertise and support throughout the activities. Volunteers are encouraged to wear suitable outdoor clothing and bring water and gloves.
No prior experience is necessary, making this an ideal opportunity for families and individuals interested in environmental conservation.
The sessions take place at Fred Hollows Reserve, located at the end of Bligh Place in Randwick. This accessible location is nestled within a significant natural bushland area.
Parking and public transport options are available nearby, making it easy to join the volunteer group.
Maps and further directions can be obtained by contacting the Council or visiting their website.
Volunteering involves physical activity such as weeding and planting, so participants should be prepared for outdoor work.
Safety is a priority; tools and guidance are provided to ensure a safe environment for all volunteers.
Children are welcome but should be supervised by adults at all times.
Participation is free, but bookings are required to manage group sizes and provide necessary resources.
