CHEN is offering the chance to be a part of a Landcare Group at the Fred Caterson Reserve in Castle Hill.
This group aims to provide bush regeneration services to the Cattai creek and its surrounding bush land. This may include some days focused on tree planting and weed removal, while other days may be focused on providing citizen science data to numerous organizations. One example of this is working with Streamwatch to collect water quality data from the Cattai creek. Another may include using the FrogID app to collect data on the frog species in the area and submitting it to the Australian Museum for research.
Not only do we want to provide bushland recovery assistance, we also want to connect as a community by doing fun, creative activities together.
Some examples include:
- BBQ’s
- Bush Walks with Detective Trails
- Yoga in Nature
- Tree planting
- Painting
- Bird Spotting
- Frog ID
- Tea Leaf Making
The possibilities are endless!
