BushCare Community is a BushCare Sunshine Coast sub-program consisting of a network of over 40 groups who share a common goal to conserve and restore our Sunshine Coast bushland in council's environment reserves.
Each group holds regular working bees throughout the year. No commitment is required, you can join-in where and when you can.
Read the profile book and working bee schedule to find out about all our groups.
BushCare Community volunteers enjoy the benefits of:
- meeting new people and forming friendships that can last a lifetime
- staying healthy and active
- onsite training and guidance
- supply of equipment and materials
- workshops and information sessions
- recognition of efforts
- social and networking activities
- refreshments.
