Note that we’re starting a bit earlier to allow time for a short talk (topic to be announced)

These volunteer events are open to anyone and will be followed by a BBQ lunch. We plan to run them on the third Sunday of each month (not December) but if the weather is really bad we’ll post a cancellation on our facebook page.

Wear strong shoes and dress for the weather, but you do not need to bring any tools. Tasks will vary but include things like planting, fence removal, track maintenance, building bird boxes, weeding, beach cleaning so there’ll be something suitable for everyone.

Please come along with your friends and family.
