New bush care group formed

A new volunteer bush care group has been formed at Empire Bay and more volunteers are currently needed.

The group consists of 10 volunteers, most of which are retirees.

Gosford Council provides tools, supervision and training to the bush care group.

The group was started when one of the volunteers contacted council and discovered it had a vacancy for the local area.

The bush care group meet between 9am and 11am on the third Sunday of each month behind the Empire Bay Tennis Courts.

The bush care group meets once a month.

Volunteers in the group learn to identify weeds, work out tactics and then remove them.

Convenor Jim Conway said the information provided would be useful for the home garden.
