Bushcare

Bushcare is a great way to meet people from all walks of life with a common interest in environmental protection.

Volunteer with one of our 13 Bushcare groups and help protect and restore our bushland and reserves. Group meetings feature:

  • a qualified supervisor is present at all group sessions
  • on-site training, gloves, tools and morning tea is provided
  • no experience is necessary.
