Illawarra Youth Landcare Group (late teens - early thirties)

Group Description

A team of young volunteers (late teens to early 30s) has just come on the Landcare scene! This is the very first Landcare group for young adults to form in the Illawarra.

As a team of volunteers, the group travels around and visits a different Landcare site one weekend a month. The group lends a helping hand to existing Landcare and Bushcare groups around the Illawarra region. Members of the group not only learn about environmental management issues, but also benefit from networking opportunities, build on social skills and develop a more sound understanding of the real environmental challenges this region is facing.

This is a great way to see parts of this region you may never normally get to visit. Not only is it a fun day out in the great outdoors, it's an opportunity to lend a helping hand to our beautiful environment, and the wonderful groups that already exist!

There are some spectacular sites out there that need our help and activities include creek restoration, bushland regeneration, and open space revegetation.

Each day in the field is topped off with a social event whether it be a game of beach cricket and a swim, a BBQ and footy in the park, or a meal and a game of pool at the local!
