This National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the incredible volunteers whose time, passion and commitment help care for the Mansfield Shire’s landscapes, wildlife and community.

Our first volunteer session of the year at Fords Creek was held at the Botanic Gardens this morning on a beautiful autumn day. Volunteers spent time weeding and caring for established plantings, helping to reduce competition and support their ongoing growth. It was wonderful to see so many plants thriving after summer, and a great way to begin another year of on-ground work along the creek.

Our final volunteer session for the year took place today along the beautiful Fords Creek at the Mansfield Botanic Garden.

We were thrilled to see such a great turnout for our volunteer session along Fords Creek in Mansfield this morning.

National Tree Day continues to be a wonderful reminder of what we can achieve together—even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

On Monday 29 July, Up2Us Landcare Alliance and the Fords Creek Landcare Group held their second Revamp Fords Creek volunteer session, continuing efforts to restore native vegetation along the creek corridor in the Mansfield Botanic Gardens.
