Get ready to roll up your sleeves and make a real difference in your local environment. These working bees are perfect for families and individuals who want to help protect the natural beauty and biodiversity of Safety Beach Foreshore. No prior experience is needed, and friendly support staff will be on hand to guide you through the activities.
You can expect a welcoming atmosphere where volunteers of all ages come together to care for the bushland and foreshore reserves. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature and meet like-minded community members.
Activities may include planting native species, removing weeds, and general maintenance to support the local ecosystem. It’s a hands-on way to teach children the value of environmental stewardship.
The working bees run monthly on Fridays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Each session provides all necessary tools and equipment, along with training to ensure everyone can participate safely and effectively.
Volunteers should wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, long pants, long sleeves, and a hat to protect against sun and scratches. Bringing a water bottle is essential to stay hydrated during the morning.
Please note that events may be cancelled or rescheduled due to extreme weather, Total Fire Ban days, or public holidays, so it’s best to check ahead before attending.
The working bees take place along the Safety Beach Foreshore, off Marine Drive, Safety Beach, Victoria 3936. The exact meeting point may vary each month, so contacting the group beforehand is recommended to confirm the location.
