The Australian Buddhist Vihara Landcare Group works to protect the Blue Mountains Swamp on its doorstep. This is a special day to show neighbours and other interested people what a precious natural asset  this land is and how we are looking after it and the adjacent Blue Mountains National Park at our regular Landcare sessions.

Enjoy a fabulous Sri Lankan smorgas board lunch and then join us in a short walk around the property, a talk about its important location in the landscape and what is needed to look after it. Do some hands-on bushcare and learn about local native plants as well as the weeds that are invading the national park and Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. We’ll be guided by a NPWS bush regenerator and supported by Sydney Metro Local Land Services.

Please wear work clothes: strong, covered-in shoes, long trousers and long sleeves, and a hat. NPWS will provides gloves, tools and expert guidance. Australian Buddhist Vihara will provide lunch and other refreshments.
