Take action this threatened species day and join us at Cook Reserve to help restore key koala habitat corridors around Smiths Creek to support the conservation of the threatened Campbelltown Koala population whilst also learning about the wonderful plants and animals that call this place home.

Under the canopy of Eucalyptus trees, you'll first embark on a hands-on adventure that involves pulling weeds to restore critical habitat for Koalas and help reverse the current trend of Koala population decline in NSW. In doing so you will be lending a hand to the dedicated volunteers of the Worrell Park Bushcare Group, whilst also learning about the wonderful plants and animals that call this place home.

Smith’s Creek is a large wildlife corridor that runs through the heart of Campbelltown, supporting an important stand of Shale-Sandstone Transition Forest known for its populations of koalas and bird species like the endangered gang-gang cockatoo.

You will focus on rehabilitating the weed-impacted bushland along the reserves tributary creek of Worrell Park, and participate in a variety of activities including, erosion control, litter removal, weed management and of course, wildlife spotting!

This project received grant funding from the Australian Government under the Saving Koalas Fund.

Upcoming events:

• Sunday 8 September, Weed Blitz at Worrell Park
