Georges River Council is inviting community members to join its newly formed Bushcare Volunteer Group at Shipwrights Reserve, Blakehurst, and play an active role in protecting and restoring local bushland.
Volunteer sessions are held every second Friday from 11:30am to 2:00pm, providing an opportunity for residents to contribute to the health of the local environment while connecting with nature and meeting like-minded community members.
Upcoming volunteer dates are:
2 October 2026.

Georges River Council’s Bushcare program helps protect and restore bushland across the local area by supporting native plants and animals, improving ecosystem health, and creating safe habitats for wildlife.
Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg, said, “Our Bushcare volunteers make a valuable contribution to preserving and enhancing the natural environment that makes Georges River such a special place to live.”
“Whether you are an experienced Bushcare volunteer or simply looking for a new way to connect with your community, everyone is welcome to join.”
“Bushcare is a rewarding way to learn about our local bushland, support biodiversity and spend time outdoors.”
