Bushcare
About
About
Bushcare is a national movement which started in the suburbs of Sydney in the 1980s. This environmental volunteer work (sometimes called Urban Landcare) occurs mostly on public land: in bushland, wetlands and around waterways managed by local councils or NSW government agencies. Environmental volunteering programs such as Bushcare have steadily grown since their inception and are now an accepted and successful partnership between many government land management organisations and community members.
Activities
Bushcare volunteers can get involved in many different ways including:
- Bush regeneration, weed removal and habitat restoration
- Tree planting
- Monitoring and surveying of native wildlife
- Water quality monitoring
