Bushcare at Sir Joseph Banks Park

All welcome! No previous bushcare experience needed, just come along – the Sir Joseph Banks Park Bushcare group meets near the light tower opposite Folkstone Parade and the Esplanade, Botany.

Bushcare volunteers play a crucial role in the protection and enhancement of bushland in the Bayside area.

As a bushcare volunteer you’ll;

• learn how to tell the difference between weeds and native plants
• plant trees and other native plants
• 
learn about local wildlife and environmental issues
• 
get to know and love your own patch of bushland and see it improve over time
• get to know other bushcarers and
• get some exercise

When you come to bushcare please wear long trousers, long sleeved shirt, covered shoes (some kind of boots are best) and a hat. You may find gardeners’ knee pads or a kneeling pad are useful as well.

Please also bring your own (large) water bottle and your own cup for morning tea.
We will provide hand sanitiser, sunscreen, a set of tools, gloves and morning tea.

To help prevent the spread of infection, please do not come to bushcare if you are unwell.
