Environment network seeks volunteers

The Community Environment Network is seeking volunteers to continue regular bird surveys in Woy Woy, Umina and Ettalong, after funding for its urban wildlife project has come to an end.

Chief executive officer Ms Jane Smith said one of the project's target areas had been birds on the Peninsula.

"We now want to continue the work of the project," Ms Smith said.

"We are looking for volunteers to help raise awareness and educate local communities; implement actions to improve habitat for urban wildlife and monitor urban wildlife," she said.

Volunteers could be involved in plantings or making nestboxes and bird baths.

"Wildwatch is a program about connecting kids with nature, an opportunity for children and families to engage in a program that promotes a love of nature, opportunities to observe nature and grow in knowledge, skills and understanding."
