Wednesday and Sunday working bees follow Victorian Government COVID-safe health guidelines.
The best way to help regenerate the indigenous landscape of Gardiners Creek is to volunteer at one of our regular working bees! These run for 2 hours and you don’t need to be a member to participate! Details below.
