Joining Bushcare Blue Mountains as a volunteer is a wonderful way to care for your local bushland, meet new people and teach children about the environment. Volunteering with the Council’s Bushland program is a long term project to see the regeneration of an area of the World Heritage Blue Mountains Nations Park and the precious ecosystem within it.

The Finer Details About Children Onsite from the Bushcare Manual

Onsite supervision of children is the responsibility of their parents or an adult nominated by their parents (an authorised adult). Children may attend workdays in compliance with the BMCC Volunteer Policy. Young children (under 6 years of age) must be under the constant supervision of a designated adult.

The designated supervising adult cannot be working simultaneously as their full attention must be on the safety of the young child. Children between 6 and below 15 years, whilst not working volunteers, may engage in tasks appropriate to their capabilities, under the supervision of their parent or authorised adult.

A parent or designated adult may only be responsible for the supervision of a maximum of two children (0 to 14 years) at any one workday.

Children who are of working age, between 15 and below 18 years, may be engaged as fully participating volunteers without parental supervision. A parent or guardian must co-sign the volunteer registration form of volunteers under 18 years of age. Read more details in the Bushcare Manual.

About Bushcare Blue Mountains

Every month, from Lapstone to Mt Wilson, around sixty groups of Bushcare volunteers, of all ages and backgrounds, work on their local patches of bushland and spend a few hours together helping to reverse the damage done to the environment by invasive weeds and stormwater runoff.

They do this by assessing the existing vegetation, planning carefully, removing weeds, encouraging the bush to expand, consolidating the progress made, then moving into new areas. They use the principles of bush regeneration to guide their work.

Groups can also find themselves working on stormwater control, erosion control, track maintenance and improvement, seed collection, plant propagation and other bushland management issues.

There’s a job for everyone, so get involved today!
