New Site Alert!

We're excited to announce Ryde Hospital’s Blue Gum High Forest as the newest site in Greater Sydney Landcare's Corporate Engagement Program.

Over 9 acres, nestled alongside Ryde Hospital, this precious remnant of Blue Gum High Forest is one of Sydney's most threatened ecological communities. Home to towering eucalypts, diverse native plants and local wildlife, it needs ongoing care to remain healthy and resilient.

Join us to help restore this remarkable bushland by removing invasive weeds, supporting native regeneration and working alongside the dedicated local Bushcare volunteers who care for the site throughout the year.

Whether you're looking for a meaningful corporate volunteering day or want to connect your team with nature, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Get your team outdoors and help protect one of Sydney's rarest forests. Contact us at [email protected]

Happy Landcare Week 🌳💚

Happy International Day for the Conservation of Mangrove Ecosystems!

Mangroves have historically been undervalued and viewed as smelly wastelands and mosquito breeding grounds. Many mangrove forests have been reclaimed, degraded and lost. But they are so important for water quality, birds and aquatic life, controlling erosion and sequestering carbon. We're rooting for mangroves and you should too!

🦆 Help Protect Platypus Habitat with Your Team 🌿

Join Greater Sydney Landcare and support the incredible work of Mulgoa Valley Landcare through a hands-on corporate volunteering day focused on restoring platypus habitat.

Your team will join an existing community-led conservation program working to improve local waterways by removing invasive weeds and helping native vegetation recover along creek lines. These healthy riparian zones are essential for platypus survival, supporting water quality, shelter, and food sources for native wildlife.

This is an opportunity for your organisation to contribute directly to a long-term local environmental project while connecting with community volunteers already making a difference on the ground.

✔ Support an established community conservation program
✔ Create measurable environmental impact
✔ Strengthen team connection through meaningful outdoor work
✔ Contribute to healthier waterways and platypus habitat

No experience needed — all tools, training, and guidance are provided.

If your organisation is looking to support local biodiversity and strengthen its ESG and sustainability goals, we’d love to connect. Contact us at [email protected]

Together with the PUIG team, we undertook on-ground planting works to help strengthen and extend Marri Badoo Reserve's riparian corridor—improving waterway health, stabilising soil, and creating valuable habitat for local biodiversity. These plantings form part of broader efforts to restore and reconnect natural systems across Greater Sydney.

Thank you to the PUIG volunteers for joining us despite the rain and for your enthusiasm and commitment to making a tangible difference on the ground.

Corporate volunteering continues to be a powerful way for organisations to contribute directly to environmental outcomes, while also building connection, purpose, and shared impact through hands-on work.

This planting forms part of the broader Healthy Cities Landcare Grants program—supported by Bupa and Landcare Australia, in partnership with City of Parramatta and Greater Sydney Landcare—working to plant thousands of native species along the riparian corridor.
