Lane Cove National Park’s estuarine system is recognised as a threatened ecological community. Your team will work together to help us preserve this system. Their well-being will benefit as they learn about the local environment, culture and history, and assist with NPWS conservation and sustainability goals.
The Lane Cove experience runs from 9.30am to 2.30pm and features:
- Welcome and acknowledgement of Country.
- Tailored team-building activities and games.
- Bush regeneration of biologically important areas, including removing weeds and rubbish and restoring native wildlife habitat.
- An informative tour of previously rehabilitated areas of the park, touching on some local history.
- Guidance throughout from knowledgeable, friendly Discovery rangers and guides.
- Morning tea and lunch on request (additional fees apply).
The work involves removing introduced weeds using handheld gardening tools. Volunteers ensure that the entire root system is removed, as well as the foliage.
By volunteering, your team will directly contribute to a meaningful bush regeneration conservation program. They'll also enjoy time in nature and strengthen their team spirit. They'll help us preserve this part of Lane Cove National Park, which is home to many native birds including kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets, currawongs and Pacific white-faced herons.

What our volunteers say
Danielle, senior engagement officer manager
‘[We’ve had] a wonderful time learning about biodiversity, conservation and how to make the world a better place. It’s also given us the opportunity to patch up some of the damage that, as humans, we are doing in the world. I would highly recommend an activity with the NPWS corporate volunteer program if you wanted your teams to evolve and perform better while making a positive impact on our society and the community.’
Robert, manager, solution consulting
‘I’m a regular volunteer with NPWS. This is my third outing with the wonderful NPWS corporate volunteer program. Every time we connect as part of this program we come together and learn more about our biodiversity and cultural history in the wonderful city of Sydney. It’s a great way to build stronger connections amongst our teams while doing good cleaning up the environment, giving back and ultimately having a material impact. My hope is that the land and environment we enjoy today can be equally celebrated for generations to come.’
