Birds and Bush in Hillbank

Spend a rewarding morning connecting with nature through bird watching and bushcare in beautiful bushland. The morning will begin with an engaging bird talk, followed by a guided bird walk where you'll discover some of the fascinating birdlife that calls this area home. You'll then roll up your sleeves and take part in a hands-on bushcare activity, helping to restore and protect important habitat for native wildlife. Working alongside experienced bushcare volunteers, you’ll help native vegetation thrive by removing invasive weeds and contributing to the ongoing care of this special bushland. This mindful experience will encourage participants to slow down, observe the natural world, learn about local birds and their habitats, and give back through practical conservation. Whether you're a keen birdwatcher, curious beginner, or simply enjoy spending time outdoors, you'll leave with new knowledge and the satisfaction of making a positive contribution. This activity is suitable for anyone in general good health. Participants should be comfortable walking a short distance on uneven ground and undertaking light bushcare activities that may involve bending, kneeling and squatting. No heavy lifting is required.
