About Bushcare in Georges River
Our Bushcare volunteers play a vital role in protecting native plants and wildlife. They help improve the health and biodiversity of bushland reserves across the Georges River area.
By joining a Bushcare group, volunteers work with Council’s Bushcare team and like‑minded community members. Activities include seed collection, weed removal and planting. It is a great way to make a positive environmental impact. It also lets people enjoy the outdoors and connect with others.
