Bellarine and Geelong

Environmental Volunteering Calendar

Come and join our friendly group of passionate volunteers as we enjoy privileged access into Buckley Park. Our weekly group works to help control invasive weeds in this special part of the local dune system.
Each Thursday a small group of Coastcare volunteers joins with Darren from the City of Greater Geelong(CoGG) to continue with sometimes delicate and fine weeding in hard to reach places.

Where: Buckley Park - Pt. Lonsdale end- New meeting location- look out for council vehicles

Come prepared: Wear long pants and long sleeves, a hat, gloves, closed shoes and eye protection (eg sunglasses)

Please contact Jude if you plan to come along(0413 458 065) to find out the exact location and so you can be notified if weeding is canceled due to weather.

New participants are always welcome!!
