Expect to feel a sense of accomplishment as you help rejuvenate the bushland around Coogee Beach, creating a healthier habitat for native wildlife and enhancing the natural beauty of the area.
The group meets every month on the third Tuesday from 9:00 to 12:00. Sessions involve practical bushcare tasks such as weeding and planting indigenous plants. Tools and gloves are usually provided, but participants are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, sun protection, and bring water.
Volunteering is free and open to all ages, though children should be supervised by adults. This is a great opportunity to teach kids about environmental stewardship and the importance of native plants.
The group has successfully revegetated large portions of the site and continues to work around the outskirts of the playing fields near Wylie's Baths.
Meet near the Council ute parked by the BBQ area opposite the entrance to Wylie's Baths, Coogee Beach. The site is picturesque, overlooking the ocean and is easily accessible by public transport or car.
Parking is available nearby, and the area is family-friendly with picnic facilities. This makes it convenient for parents to combine the bushcare activity with a day out at the beach.
Volunteers should wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear suitable for outdoor work. Sun protection such as hats and sunscreen is essential.
Children must be supervised at all times for safety. The council provides tools and gloves, but participants may bring their own if preferred.
