Your group will come away from Congwong Beach knowing that they've made a significant contribution to the protection of this important environment. Invasive species are causing widespread damage in the area, particularly to the critically-endangered banksia scrub and grassland. Your team will help us clean up the beach and surrounding areas where these weeds are spreading. Their work will also help protect local threatened animals and birds, which rely on the banksia scrub and grasslands.
It's not unusual to see white-bellied sea eagles and water dragons in the area. If volunteering during the whale migration season your team may see whales and dolphins too.

What our volunteers say
Georgia HR advisor
‘What a wonderful day I’ve had with the team from NPWS at Congwong Beach, La Perouse as part of the corporate volunteer program. I also attended a session at Middle Head last year, which was equally as enjoyable. It’s a great way to build connections with the team, learn more about our environment and how to do better for the world.’
Ashwin, senior manager, IT operations APJ
‘A fantastic day here with NPWS, cleaning up all the mess that we make. It’s a massive effort! I love being a part of it and helping our world take some steps forward.’
