Tools and guidance is provided by Council’s Bushcare Officer. Please wear long sleeved work shirt and pants and strong covered shoes.

Afternoon tea supplied. RSVP to Monica by Monday 8 May. Numbers are strictly limited, so book in early!

If you can’t make the working bee but would still like to participate in the Hollows for Habitat citizen science program (More details about the program are at:                                   https://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/Hollows-as-Homes/Hollows-as-Homes

Learn about how tree hollows form, the role they play in supporting our wildlife and what wildlife that you’re likely to spot using them.
