Events - August 2007
Bush Regeneration - Hermitage Foreshore - Vaucluse
- Sun 19th
Calling
all HarbourKeepers - Sydney Harbour needs you!
The beautiful Hermitage Foreshore in the Sydney Harbour National Park
in Vaucluse is suffering from a weed invasion that is nudging out native
plant species and not providing the correct foods or habitats for native
animals.
This is a chance to be involved in a new conservation project from the
beginning. You will learn about native plants and wildlife and make a
real difference to the conservation of Sydney Harbour. No experience is
required as you will work under the guidance of skilled natural area managers
from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Read more about HarbourKeepers
work along the Hermitage Foreshore here.
