Please bring your own garden gloves, drinking water and vaccination tick or exemption. We'll provide you with tools, hand sanitiser, and morning tea.

If it’s raining the event will be cancelled and we’ll confirm that on our Facebook page.

This week we have two bush restorations, to avoid our Sunday event clashing with Easter.

Wednesday 6 April starts at 9am, and Sunday 10 April at 9:30am. Take your pick! Attend both! Be the Best Bush Restoration-er a Bush Restoration-er Could Be. 

Tools are provided, no experience needed. Just bring a water bottle, sturdy shoes and gloves.

We'll meet at the car-park midway along the reserve. Hope to see you there!​

Our last volunteering session at Glenfern this morning for the year. Just a small turn out but we got some urgent tasks ticked off. Including brush-cutting and track repairs.
 
Council has replaced the damaged Glenfern sign – thanks YRC.

Good news: Our Welcome Leaf has been repaired and reinstalled at the main entrance, thanks Jackson – nice work. 

A super big thanks to all our volunteers and supporters who have helped out during this challenging year. 

ALERT Snakes are active in Glenfern. We encountered a small Copper Head on the track down to the quarry.

Keep in mind that pandemics come and go but Glenfern is here forever.

​Today we worked in Area 7, which was cleared of Sweet Pittosporum in 2016. It was an area that we hadn't ventured into for over a year and we were so pleased to see the amazing regrowth of indigenous shrubs, trees, under-storey and native grasses all looking very lush and healthy.

I've included some before photos so you can see how thick the Pittosporums were and how nothing grew beneath them. There is also an after Pittosporum removal where it does look very barren.
​
Thanks for everyone who came along and lent a hand. It was so good to get out in nature with friends after lockdowns and bad weather.

It was great to get out with friends and continue with our bush restoration work at Glenfern. The Blackberries had been growing well with the wetter weather but our team did a great job in removing them. Thanks everyone who came along to the last working bee of the year. What a difference you have made to our beautiful Bushlands.​

Bush Restoration Morning Wednesday 1st July 9-11am

Our Bushlands are looking beautiful at the moment so why don't you come along and enjoy them as well as doing a little work to improve them even more?

Meet us at the main, middle car park and we will walk to the amphitheatre where we will be doing a little weeding, removing sleeves and stakes, as well as whipper-snippering. We also plan on whipper-snippering around the main entrance and rock wall so if you have a whipper-snipper it would be great if you could bring it along.

Please bring gloves, snack and a drink.
