Want to volunteer some of your time for a good cause?
Newcastle Port Corporation is sponsoring a rehabilitation project at Nobbys Beach by Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) between Monday, 17 March and Thursday, 20 March – and we need a few helping hands.
CVA has organised a group of international and local volunteers to remove bitou bush and re-establish native species along the beach but needs more volunteers for the four-day project. Volunteering for CVA is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, meet new people and learn new skills. If you volunteer for 30 hours you can complete a Certificate One qualification in Active Volunteering.
