HarbourKeepers on Sydney Weekender - Sat 17th

Nicky Hammond, HarbourKeepers coordinator, Dave Roe, HarbourKeepers Fish Survey coordinator and a few HarbourKeepers joined the crew of Sydney Weekender in late May to film an episode of Sydney Weekender.

Bush Regeneration - Reef Beach, Balgowlah Heights
Sun 18th

These monthly bush regeneration activities are a great chance to socialise with your fellow HarbourKeepers, help look after Sydney Harbour and take in the scenic views! Newcomers will learn new skills while regenerating the natural bushland around Reef Beach.

Bush regeneration at this site is conducted in conjunction with the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). NPWS provide training for beginners so that everyone could get involved no matter what their level of experience.

To get involved in Reef Beach bush regeneration register as a HarbourKeeper. Once registered you will receive regular email newsletters about upcoming events, however if there is an event you are interested in attending before you receive a newsletter contact Dave: daver@marine.org.au.

Scouts Mother of Millions Removal - Sun 25th

Following the successful program of summer and autumn Scouts HarbourKeepers days at Bradley's Head, a group of Scouts headed out to Clark Island to remove the weed Mother of Millions. This event continues the great work Scouts were able to do on Clark Island in 2005. By helping NPWS through HarbourKeepers to control this weed a few times a year, it is hoped that the Scouts can remove this weed from Clark Island all together. This will allow native plants to regain a foothold and improve the health of the environment of the Harbour foreshores.
