Bushcare is great way to meet people while helping protect and increase habitat and biodiversity in bushland, parks, wetlands and waterways.
North Brisbane Catchments bushcare groups work in partnership with Brisbane City Council and receive advice and support from Council officers.
Bushcare groups undertake a variety of activities including:
-
- Weed removal
- Revegetating and regeneration with locally native plants
- Citizen science projects
- Conducting flora and fauna surveys
- Build community partnerships and friendships
- Hosting community planting days
