Message for the Collinsvale Landcare Group from Ash Carden (GCC)

National Volunteer Week is coming up in May and Council would like to celebrate our Bushcare program volunteers!

We are looking for 3 people to put their hand up to be featured on our social media in a short video interview where we will cover things like which project/group you have volunteered with, why you volunteer for our Bushcare program, what inspires you, your favourite volunteering memory or achievements, what you love about our natural areas in Glenorchy, and other similar things.

It's a great opportunity to get a lovely video made of you by our fabulous comms team, to show off to all your friends and family!

Please contact Ash if you are keen and she will be in touch to set up a time and a place to make it happen.
