Get ready to roll up your sleeves and make a real difference in your local environment with the Tanti Creek Friends Group Working Bees. These sessions are perfect for families and individuals who want to contribute to preserving biodiversity in the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.
Volunteers will engage in a variety of activities designed to protect and enhance the natural bushland and foreshore areas. Whether you’re experienced or new to conservation work, friendly support staff will provide all the guidance, training, tools, and equipment you need.
Come prepared to get active outdoors in a welcoming community atmosphere, where every helping hand counts towards a healthier environment.
Working bees run from 09:30 to 11:30 on the last Tuesday of each month, with multiple dates available through to December 2026. These sessions involve practical tasks such as planting native species, removing invasive weeds, and general bushcare.
No prior experience is necessary, making it an ideal activity for parents looking to involve their school-aged children in meaningful environmental stewardship.
Volunteers are advised to wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, long pants, long sleeves, and a hat, and to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during the morning.
The working bees take place at Tanti Creek Reserve, located at 57-67 Herbert Street, Mornington, 3931. Note that the exact meeting location may vary for each session, so it is recommended to contact the group beforehand to confirm details.
The reserve is accessible by car and public transport options are available nearby. Parking and facilities are suitable for families.
Please be aware that working bees may be cancelled or rescheduled at short notice due to Total Fire Ban days, extreme weather conditions, or public holidays. Volunteers should check for updates before attending.
Safety is a priority; the provision of tools and training ensures a safe environment for all participants.
This is a free community event supported by the Mornington Peninsula Shire, welcoming volunteers of all ages and abilities.
Participation in the working bees is free of charge. No booking is required, but first-time attendees are encouraged to contact the group via email to confirm the location and any other details.
