Bellarine and Geelong

Environmental Volunteering Calendar

Join the Geelong Field Naturalists for our annual Clean Up of the Jerringot Wetlands.

There is always some rubbish to collect, as it comes off the road and from the nearby Council Depot Car Park. You can also check out the updated Bird Hide

What to bring:

Yourself, friends, gloves, stout shoes (gumboots and/or gaiters are useful in some places), hat, sunscreen and drinking water. Binoculars and camera would be handy to enjoy the birdlife while you are there.

We will have a supply of gloves, sanitiser and some Hi-Viz vests but bring your own if possible.

Join Ash Skinner from Wadawurrung at this free 1 hour education session to deepen your understanding of Wadawurrung's long connection and history to Portarlington.

This 1 hour session will involve a walk and talk through Point Richards Flora and Fauna Reserve, where Ash will discuss Wadawurrung cultural heritage. 

Please BYO: Hat, sunscreen and water bottle. A weather-proof jacket if appropriate. 

Access: Point Richards Flora and Fauna Reserve.



Note: Please do not attend if you are unwell. This event is also subject to weather conditions and will be postponed if weather is not safe or unfavourable. All participants will be notified 24 hours before. Any cancellations must go to info@bcn.org.au ASAP as limited spaces are available.


This event would not be possible without the support and funding by the Victorian State Government 'Tiny Towns Fund' in support of Bellarine Catchment Networks 'Pride in Place' project.

Pride in Place is an opportunity to educate, foster pride in place, encourage volunteering, upskill individuals and build connections for under-represented communities.

This event is supported by the Bellarine Bayside who manage and care for the coastline of Portarlington. For more information, please email us atinfo@bcn.org.au or visit www.environmentbellarine.org.au
