Working bees
Volunteers are an essential part of the working bees held throughout the year at Blackburn Lake Sanctuary.
Working bees are a great opportunity for the local community to get involved in caring for and improving the bushland areas of the Sanctuary.
Some of the tasks include weeding, planting trees and shrubs, and mulching.
Removing weeds helps to keep the area weed-free and allows the indigenous plants to thrive. Planting new shrubs and trees helps to regenerate and improve the bushland.
We plant indigenous plants, which are specially grown from seeds or cuttings collected in local bushland parks, including the Sanctuary.
Working bees are held for 2 hours, generally on Saturday mornings.

The Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is a special place that sits at the origins of the Kooyong Koot tributary.
This Country, its creatures, lands, skies and waterways, has been continuously loved and cared for by the Wurundjeri peoples for over 60,000 years. We hope to walk with the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung in caring for this place.
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung as the First Peoples of this area and pay our respects to their spirits, ancestors and elders.
