Immerse yourself in nature and make a positive impact by joining the Malabar Foreshore Bushcare group. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to engage with the environment and learn about local bushland conservation.
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 activity is perfect for parents looking to inspire their children about environmental stewardship and enjoy some fresh air and gentle exercise together.
The group meets monthly on the first Tuesday from 09:00 to 12:00, providing a regular and manageable commitment for busy families.
Tasks include targeting weeds such as Salpichroa and Acetosa, as well as planting local indigenous plants suited to the coastal environment.
The site is located on the southern section of Long Bay, an area known for the endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub ecological community.
Volunteers will gain hands-on experience in bush regeneration and learn about the unique flora of the area.
Meet on the grass area opposite 9 Bay Parade, Malabar, easily accessible by car or public transport.
The site is exposed to coastal winds, so appropriate clothing and sun protection are recommended.
Parking is available nearby, and the location offers a scenic outdoor setting perfect for a morning of volunteering.
Bookings are essential and can be made by calling the Council's Bushcare Officer on 02 9399 6708 or emailing bushcare@randwick.nsw.gov.au.
Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, bring water, and be prepared for outdoor work.
This is a family-friendly activity but may involve some physical effort, so suitable for school-aged children and adults.
The program runs until 1 December 2026, with monthly sessions to fit around your schedule.
Participation is free of charge, making it an accessible way for families to contribute to local environmental conservation.
Advance booking is required to ensure group sizes are manageable and resources are available.
Contact details are provided for easy registration and any questions about the activity.
Come along and help protect this precious coastal bushland while enjoying quality family time outdoors.
