Volunteers will work in Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area. You'll maintain trail surfaces, clean drains, reshape features and clear fallen leaves and vegetation.
You don’t need special skills or knowledge – we'll give you training and instructions on tasks on the days you volunteer. The work requires a reasonable level of fitness, and you can expect to be working in steep and uneven terrain. First aid training is also desirable.
This a great opportunity to be involved in and contribute to the mountain biking community in the Illawarra. You’ll make new friends working with like-minded people, and you’ll learn about the Illawarra escarpment, a 30-million-year-old formation with a variety of different forest life. You'll be in the fresh air in a beautiful environment doing satisfying and much-needed work on the trails.
Wear long sleeves, long pants and bring a hat and sun protection when you volunteer.
