Bushland in an urban environment is becoming increasingly rare, which is why Auburn Council is maintaining and extending the existing 25 acres of bushland along Duck River. To enhance this green corridor along the river, Council has started a program of bush regeneration and organises a bush volunteer day. The volunteers meet on a monthly basis on the second Saturday of the month. A trained bush regeneration officer is there to offer help and guidance. The day starts at 9 am and finishes at noon. Volunteers can just turn up at the Barbecue Area along Duck River with gardening gloves and suitable clothing and footwear. Alternatively contact Auburn Council on 9735 1222 to participate or for more information.
