Bushcare

Bushcare is a volunteer program that enables community members to participate in the restoration, enhancement and maintenance of natural areas within the area.

Bushcare is a great way to connect with your local community and environment while caring for Country. Volunteers have the opportunity to learn new skills, meet like-minded people and spend time outdoors in nature.

Council's Bushcare team provides all necessary training, supervision, tools, materials and equipment for volunteers.
