VOLUNTEERS WELCOME
Tilligerry Habitat Association is a not for profit, charitable, incorporated association that manages the crown land reserve and staffs the Environment Centre. Our members volunteer their time to staff the environment centre 7 days a week between 10am and 3pm. They also supervise volunteer work teams on Mondays and Tuesdays. Members and volunteers have worked for this site since 1993 with the goal of preserving, supporting and improving it for locals and visitors. People from all over the world come to meet an Aussie – and sometimes they see a koala as well. You can help us by volunteering to staff the centre and/or work;

on the site
in the nursery

Have you seen the improvements to Tilligerry Habitat Nursery?
The site is very much tidier, most rubbish now removed with fewer weeds and mulch spread on bare ground and plants arranged together. A new cheap plant table is attracting attention at $1 a plant.
We are creating the nursery as a destination. Visit us today!

Everyone loves Tilligerry Habitat. Show your love. We need your help.
Saturday 17th October is our second community working bee. Starting at 9 we plan to work on the carpark area loading the trailer for the Green Waste on Sunday. We will;
*move the log barriers to the fence line along the council land removing some weeds
*trim some cut off branches on the trees
*remove some of the invasive buffalo in the bush nearby and
*assemble a bandicoot bungalow east of the nursery.
There will be a sausage sizzle for those attending.
If you can lend a hand for an hour or two it would be greatly appreciated and your labour will improve your Tilligerry Habitat.
