Getting involved

There are plenty of ways you can give something back to this special place. Community Care Groups are doing good work in the Park and around the fringe, so roll up your sleeves and pull a weed or plant a tree.  

The City of Hobart’s Bushcare Program involves regular community working bees. Volunteers work at Waterworks Valley, South Hobart, Kangaroo Valley, Ridgeway, Friends of Knocklofty and Fern Tree. Groups usually meet once per month. Many other groups operate around the Park fringe on projects that enhance the natural environment through hands–on participation.

• Wildcare 
• Landcare
• Derwent Estuary Program
• Newtown Rivulet Catchment Care Group 
• North West Bay River Catchment Care Group.

NRMSouth provides opportunities and support for community groups with environmental objectives. 

You can also help care for the Park by reporting illegal activities to Ranger Ben at the Wellington Park Management Trust.
