What to Expect
Experience the joy of contributing to the environment with hands-on tree planting and habitat restoration in the beautiful Numinbah Valley. These community field days offer a relaxed and meaningful way to connect with nature and like-minded volunteers while making a positive impact on local wildlife corridors.
You will be part of a long-term restoration effort that began in 2019, helping to improve water quality in the Nerang River catchment and supporting the recovery of important habitat connections between Springbrook and Lamington National Parks.
After the planting activities, enjoy a welcoming cuppa and morning tea, perfect for sharing stories and meeting fellow community members.
