Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Mort Bay Park by joining the Bushcare volunteer group. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with nature and contribute to the preservation of local coastal rainforest and sandstone heath environments.
Volunteers gather on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month to work together on restoring and maintaining native bushland. You will have the chance to learn about the unique native plants and wildlife that inhabit this vibrant ecosystem. The sessions are hands-on and suitable for those new to bushcare.
Training is provided for all new volunteers, ensuring you feel confident and equipped. All necessary tools are supplied, and a morning tea break offers a chance to relax and socialize with fellow volunteers. The work involves practical conservation tasks in a beautiful outdoor setting.
The event takes place at Mort Bay Community Garden, located on McKell Street, Birchgrove NSW. Please note there are no specific accessibility support options available for this event, so participants should consider their mobility needs.
Volunteers should wear appropriate outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear suitable for gardening and bushcare activities. Bringing a water bottle and sun protection is recommended. This is a community-driven initiative supported by the local council.
Participation is free of charge. For more information or to get involved, please contact urbanecology@innerwest.nsw.gov.au. No prior booking is required but contacting the organizer can help with planning.
