Northern Beaches Bushcare and Community Nurseries

The Northern Beaches is fortunate in having many areas of natural beauty. Council partners with local residents to preserve and maintain these areas through our Bushcare program.

Bushcare is all about community volunteers working with Council to conserve and rehabilitate publicly owned natural bushland. There are over 350 volunteers who work at over 50 different sites throughout the Northern Beaches. 

• Most Bushcare groups work at set times through the year, for two or three hours each month.

• No experience is needed. there are activities to suit all levels of participation.

• Tools, training and guidance in bush regeneration techniques, and morning or afternoon tea are provided.

Our Community Nursery Program enlists the help of dedicated volunteers who propagate thousands of indigenous plants (including rare species) each year. These plants can then be used by Bushcare volunteers or by Council as part of our ongoing Bush regeneration program.
