WORKING BEES
An occasion when volunteers come together to carry out communal work
All members are encouraged to participate.
All work is planned to accommodate the abilities and skills of our diverse membership.
Activities vary, depending on the project
The Biolink project activities include:
- Physical work - such as brush cutting, chainsawing, spraying weeds (gorse & blackberry), stick picking, burning off, pulling gorse and general clearing.
- Supporting work – such as managing sign-in (a Landcare Victoria insurance cover requirement), photographing the morning's work (before & after), OH&S (ensuring good safety/PPE and supplying volunteers water), and preparing the fellowship BBQ following each working bee.
