Bush-care group hosts clean-up day

The Burrawang Bushland Reserve bush-care group is hosting a clean-up day as part of Clean-Up Australia Day on Sunday, March 7.

The reserve is located on the corner of Hillview and Railway Sts, Woy Woy.

The group's Clean-Up coordinator Mr Jim Morrison said: "Continuing on from last year's effort, the bush-care group has made a significant improvement to the reserve with a continuing weeding program, rubbish removal and bush regeneration.

"The group has received some very pleasing comments from users of the reserve," he said.

"While there has been a significant reduction in illegal dumping in the reserve since vehicular access was restricted, dumping of rubbish is still a problem."

Removal of this rubbish is the aim of the clean-up day.

The bush-care group is seeking the assistance of residents to support its endeavours on this day.

The clean-up will be for about three hours beginning, with registration at 9am, followed by a pre-clean-up briefing.

"If you can help, please do," Mr Morrison said.

"If you can only spend an hour or two with us, it will be appreciated."

The meeting place will be at the Nambucca Dr playground adjacent to the reserve at 9am on Sunday, March 7.

Suitable clothing is required including sturdy shoes, a hat, and sunscreen.

"A responsible adult must accompany children," said Mr Morrison.
