Lobster Beach, Bouddi National Park

Bouddi National Park protects coastal heaths, moors and beaches once typical of the greater Sydney region. However the Spotted Gum forest of Lobster Beach is being invaded by weeds: come help us protect this beautiful area from further devastation. Volunteers to this site will play a significant role in restoring and enhancing the biodiversity of the Bouddi Peninsula.

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.

Bush Regeneration - Sat 21, 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.

Bush Regeneration - Sat 28, 08.30-14.30 (approx rtn)
Milsons Passage, Muogamarra Nature Reserve

The Aussie Bush needs your help! Travel by boat to Muogamarra Nature Reserve to join a group of dedicated volunteers restoring a unique site not generally open to the public.

No experience required as training and tools are provided. Work with National Parks staff to restore this unique area.

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.

Northern Beaches Fish Survey - Sun 15
