About this event

The Neighbours Nurturing Nature Volunteer Project is offering some midweek volunteering taster sessions in July for those who are unable to attend other scheduled volunteering opportunities .

Volunteers will be supported by the Park Rangers from Visitor Programs. Don’t worry if you can’t tell a weed from a native, we’ll run through the basics so you’ll be comfortable with species identification and technique.

Please bring a hat, sunscreen, water and wear enclosed shoes, long sleeved shirt and long pants. Weeding tools and gloves will be supplied, but bring your own gloves if you have them.

Please arrive on time so the group can be inducted to the site together. This is a requirement of volunteering on the site.
