Event description
Join the Barung Seed Forest Care Group!
Keen to get your hands dirty and care for the local environment? We are inviting volunteers to join us once a month at the Barung Seed Forest to help care for this emerging forest in the heart of Maleny.
The Barung Seed Forest is just over 2 years old and already supports a diversity of native plants and animals. It is rapidly becoming an important stepping stone in the landscape for wildlife, and provides a special place for both humans and wildlife to co-exist.
Volunteer activities include:
- Helping with weed management
- Occasional tree planting and habitat creation
- Supporting the evolution of an important demonstration rainforest planting and native Garden for Wildlife
Benefits include:
- Meeting local like-minded people and building social connections
- Learning more about native plants and wildlife
- Learning about native garden design and revegetation techniques
- Learning about weed management and treatment methods
- Free cuppa and morning tea! (it wouldn’t be landcare without this)
What to bring:
