What do Bushcare Volunteers do?
Bushcare volunteers carry out a range of important activities that help to improve the ecological quality of a site. All tasks are carried out under the guidance of Council’s Environmental Officers who provide the training, tools and technical advice that equip all volunteers to become competent in Bushcare.
Activities in our Bushcare Program include:
- The control and removal of weeds from a site
- Removing rubbish and discarding it as appropriate
- Planting species that are Indigenous to the site
- Restoring creeks and riparian zones
- Citizen science programs – eg. Stream watch and Platypus monitoring
- Wildlife programs – eg. installing nest boxes and attending WIRES programs
- Community planting days and open days
- Monitoring Wollondilly’s flora, fauna and water quality
- Collecting seed and cuttings from sites to use for propagation at the Robin Davies Wollondilly Community Nursery
