Bushcare is hands-on conservation to protect and enhance habitat and biodiversity in bushland, parks, wetlands and waterways.
North Brisbane Catchments bushcare groups are run by dedicated volunteers who are committed to keeping Brisbane clean, green and sustainable. 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
- Mulching
- Citizen science projects
- Conducting flora and fauna surveys
- Engaging all members of the community through working bees and other events to build community partnerships and friendships
- Hosting community planting days
