Bartolo Nature Reserve, located in the wild suburb of Agnes Banks, is a critical 'Green Corridor' for native wildlife. The Reserve provides important habitat for species such as the Eastern Grey Kangaroo and Bearded Dragons to move about, and find food and shelter. Even more importantly, Bartolo Nature Reserve is remnant of critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland and is home to several threatened species.

Bartolo Reserve is however in need of help! Invasive weeds growing throughout the site are threatening the species that call this place their home. We are looking for volunteers to help us tackle these plants and to remove rubbish from the site, to improve biodiversity for this valuable wildlife wonderland.

Join with locals and our experienced ecologist for a few hours of practical conservation, and contribute to the restoration of Bartolo Nature Reserve. You’ll be rewarded with a cuppa under the tree top canopy and enjoy a guided tour of this very special site. You may even get to spot the resident mob of kangaroos that live on the site or a very endangered species of snail! Who knows what you'll find when you volunteer with us?!

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:

• Make sure you book your spot online. Spaces are limited, and they do fill up!
• We offer a free pick and drop off at Penrith Station for this project.
• No previous experience is required. We will provide you with all the know-how on site!
• We can provide you with a certificate of appreciation for coming along and helping out (this looks great on a resume!)
