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

Locals embarked on a Bushcare journey in late 2003 to rehabilitate a neglected and overgrown area of foreshore at Figtree Bay Reserve. Coastal sandstone vegetation is being established on the site to provide a welcoming natural habitat for native birds and animals to use.

Join Council's Bushcare volunteers and staff on a bushwalk through the Yaralla Bushcare site. Topics that will be covered on the tour include:

• Habitat management and fauna monitoring

• Basic native plant identification

• Weed management

• Bush regeneration techniques

• Bushcare and the Big Picture
