Bush Regeneration - Sat 15, 09.00-12.30
Happy Valley, La Perouse, Botany Bay National Park

This beautiful oasis needs your help! Join a group of dedicated volunteers for a fun morning helping to preserve this unique coastal area. The Botany Bay NP is home to over 350 plant species and shelters a remnant of the vegetation once typical along the Sydney coast. However the park's location, surrounded by high-density development, makes it particularly vulnerable to weeds.

Work alongside experts from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service to combat weeds and reclaim the land for native plants. No experience required, tools and training provided.

The Mid North Coast Branch of NPA carry out bush regeneration and the removal of Bitou bush in the Port Macquarie region. Come and make a direct contribution to our environment by attending our free ‘Bitou bashes’. A few hours of your time helps Australian plants and animals and is a great way to relieve stress and burn calories while making new friends. Come along to help us care for our native bushland, no experience required, tools and training provided.

Fish Survey

CoastKeepers dive groups complete Fish Surveys all along the NSW coast. CoastKeepers Fish Surveyors are volunteer divers who wish to give something back to the marine environment they love.

This project has been assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust.
