What to Expect
Immerse yourself in nature and make a real difference by joining the Prince Henry Bushcare group. This volunteer program offers a hands-on opportunity to help regenerate some of Randwick's best remaining bushland. You'll work alongside dedicated Bushcare Officers and fellow volunteers, tackling invasive weeds and nurturing native plants back to health.
Expect a rewarding morning outdoors where your efforts contribute directly to preserving local biodiversity and enhancing the natural environment for future generations. Whether you're new to bushcare or an experienced volunteer, this group welcomes all who share a passion for nature.
Activity Details
The group meets monthly on the 2nd Saturday from 09:00 to 12:00. Locations alternate between opposite 2 Millard Drive and the corner of Jennifer Street & Harvey Street in Little Bay.
