Join the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) Community Macnamara and Westgate Biodiversity for a Saturday morning of volunteering.💚🌿🐸🌏
We're excited to announce that the BBQ is also back on—this event was originally postponed in October due to wet weather.
We’ll be getting our hands dirty between 9:30am – 12:00pm, helping care for the park and local habitat .
Afterward, if you can stick around from 12:00pm – 2:00pm, we will have a delicious sausage sizzle!😋 All proceeds will go toward supporting future park volunteer days.
Come for the cause, stay for the community—and the snags! We’d love to see you there.
Sausage sizzle:
We’ll have traditional and vegan sausage options fresh off the BBQ, with ingredients and supplies kindly provided by Westgate Biodiversity and ACF.
Pricing (pay on the day): $5 per sausage (traditional & vegan options available)
