This is good bushland, so efforts are focused mostly on improvement rather than eradication, so there are more opportunities for learning native species rather than simply weeds. Experience is not necessary. You will receive on the spot training and can attend periodic workshops. It is an opportunity to meet people with similar interests, as well as learning about the natural, cultural and historical heritage of Lane Cove National Park.

Benefits for bushcare volunteers include: •A chance to make a positive difference to our environment •New friends with similar interests •Exercise •Training •Work experience •Free entry into NSW National Parks •Newsletter and formal recognition
