Activity Details
The bushcare sessions take place every month on the third Tuesday, from 09:00 to 12:00. Activities include weeding, planting indigenous plants, and maintaining the revegetated areas around the playing fields near Wylie's Baths.
Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, sun protection, and bring water. Tools and gloves are typically provided by the council.
The group has successfully revegetated large portions of the site and continues to expand the native plantings, making a tangible difference to the local ecosystem.
