Bushcare in Manly

BushRegen_2The Manly Council Bushcare Programme encourages the community to get involved and help protect and restore our precious urban bushland. 

Bushcare groups work each week in a variety of bushland areas. There's a group to suit everyone, no experience is necessary.  

Bushcare activities include 

  • encouraging natural bushland regeneration by removing weeds
  • native plant and weed species identification
  • recreating bushland by planting native species
  • erosion control and mulching
  • recreating habitat. 

The benefits of being a bushcare volunteer 

  • great way to develop an understanding of the local environment
  • free training on plants and animals
  • learn how to identify weeds and the latest weed removal techniques (great to use at home in the garden)
  • meet and socialise with like minded people interested in conservation
  • great sense of achievement
