BUSHFIRE RECOVERY ADELAIDE - REPAIRING FENCES

Conservation Volunteers

Event description

In the aftermath of the recent bushfires, CVA has been entrusted as a one of the key organisations to deliver immediate environmental recovery needs of bushfire affected areas.

As an initial practical environmental response, we are inviting the broader community to contribute in the much needed recovery and ecological rehabilitation of these areas. The focus of these events is on restoring vegetation and waterways along with assisting native wildlife to return into the affected areas.

Come and join us in Adelaide Hills at Lobethal Park to assist Adelaide Hills Council in removing fences that were badly damaged during the recent bushfires.

All training and materials will be provided. There is no cost to get involved in this event.

Please meet at our office at 134 South Rd, Torrensville at 7:45am to depart for the Adelaide Hills at 8am.

We look forward to helping the fire affected areas and providing our wildlife new opportunities and new beginnings!

What you need to bring and wear: Snacks and a water bottle. Please wear appropriate clothing for the activity including sturdy footwear.

Volunteers under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The level of interest from the community and offers of support has been enormous. Places on this event are limited, so if this event is booked out please keep an eye out for other upcoming opportunities where you can get involved.
