Join up

Volunteering with the Arakoon bushcare group is a productive and satisfying way to help the local environment and learn about the unique ecosystem of Arakoon National Park in a social and supportive environment.

Aside from its regular volunteer work, the Arakoon bushcare volunteer group also participates in a yearly Biggest Beach Bitou Bash in May. Whether you’re a local or someone planning a visit to the area, why not set aside a few days for this weeding bonanza? The event is a collaborative effort between NSW National Parks and conservation organisations. Volunteers even get to camp for free in local national parks during the event.

Training, supervision, tools, herbicide-resistant gloves, and morning tea are all provided. Bring along insect repellant when you volunteer.
