BushCare Sunshine Coast

Volunteer to conserve bushland in council's environment reserves. If you are an individual, family, club, school or business we have an activity to suit you.

We are fortunate to call the magnificent Sunshine Coast home. From the beach to the hinterland, we have diverse habitats home to many flora and fauna. BushCare volunteers play a significant role in supporting this - wherever and whenever you volunteer, you'll make a difference!

BushCare Sunshine Coast (formally Community Nature Conservation Program) supports the community to conserve and restore our natural bushland in council's environment reserves. It is a great way to make a positive impact on the environment around you, and you will also be able to meet new people, stay healthy and active, learn new skills and connect with nature.

You can join our 2,000+ BushCare volunteers who annually achieve together:

planting 20,000+ native trees, shrubs and ground covers
1,600+ wheelie bins of weeds composted
restoring 170 hectares of bushland
creating habitat corridors
restoring our local waterways
building resilience of our dunes.

There are over 40 BushCare groups across the Sunshine Coast holding regular working bees you can attend.
