The Working Bees

Currimundi Catchment Care Group hosts a monthly working bee on the second Saturday afternoon of the month. The location varies from month to month but may be any park or natural area within the Currimundi Catchment. The aim of the working bees is to remove invasive weed plants and unsuitable garden escapees from these areas and encourage natives to thrive in their place. We will sometimes plant natives in suitable areas as well. This in turn will provide food and shelter for native birds and wildlife. Details of each event will be added a week or so before each event. We can also add you to a working

We have a mix of regulars and people who just turn up when they can. Please wear long sleeves and pants and closed-in shoes for your protection. We also recommend a hat and water bottle. Gloves and tools supplied.

The working bees are operated under the Sunshine Coast Council Bushcare volunteer conservation program.
