Get Involved


 

Woodend Landcare is a not-for-profit, environmental community group run by a team of dedicated volunteers. We aim to enhance the natural environment within and around Woodend through, improving biodiversity corridors, restoring waterways, and protecting endangered species, all-the-while increasing the liveability of our town.

We always welcome newcomers at our working bees, new members into our group and financial donations from individuals, businesses or other groups who are unable to donate their time to help our cause.

Volunteer with Woodend Landcare

Our monthly Working Bees are usually held on the 4th Sunday of the month, 9am-12noon. Bee locations will be announced in the Woodend Star, on this website and the various noticeboards around town.

Our Thursday Crew working bees are usually held every Thursday morning at 9am. Contact Dave Bower on dvbower65@gmail.com for more details.
