Bushcare for Beginners at Gordons Bay

Situated within the UNSW campus grounds this bushcare spot is rarely accessible to the public and feels like a world away from busy Sydney.

Join our friendly Bushcare Team for a leisurely Sunday introduction to bushcare volunteering at beautiful Gordons Bay.

Suitable for 7-years and up, this is a great opportunity to learn the craft of bush regeneration alongside Council's knowledgeable Bushcare team and dedicated bushcare volunteers at this spectacular location.

Bring the kids along and immerse yourselves in one of the larger remaining patches of coastal heath overlooking scenic Gordons Bay.

The event will involve a mass planting of indigenous coastal heath species to support habitat for small birds.  

• All tools, training and equipment is provided in a welcoming team environment. 
• You'll meet neighbours, be active and learn something about your local area.
