Weeding and rubbish removal encourages the regeneration of the forest and other Australian native plants that provide the habitat for endangered species of Australian animals and birds.
You'll learn a lot about your local environment and protecting native plants and animals. Training and tools are provided, as are fresh air, like-minded company and the opportunity for a bit of exercise. You'll feel a great sense of achievement from this work. It's great if you have some gardening knowledge, but beginners with a desire to learn are very welcome too.
Wear closed-in shoes, long-sleeve clothing and a hat. It's a good idea to bring sunscreen, a raincoat, drinking water, snacks, lunch, gardening gloves and insect repellant. Tools and hard hat supplied.
