Habitat protection in Queenscliff

Volunteers are needed at Bellarine Catchment Network’s monthly habitat protection program at Queenscliff Cemetery! We remove invasive weeds to protect precious woodlands and provide weed-free habitats for wildlife. This program is a great way for volunteers to meet new people, learn to identify local plants and weeds and make a direct difference to a local habitat.

Key details

• Each session runs for 2 hours but volunteers can stay for as long as they like
• All tools and equipment (gloves, safety glasses, bags) are provided by BCN staff
• We meet at the entrance to the cemetery along Jordan Road. Weeding works happen in the woodland, not in the main cemetery section
• The focus is on habitat restoration for our native plants and animals
• We end the session with a complimentary morning tea!
• If the weather is unfavourable, look to see if the event is cancelled here.

This program could not be possible without the support of Geelong Cemeteries Trust who manage the cemeteries and woodlands for current and future generations.
