Your team will us remove ground asparagus from this beautiful part of Sydney Harbour National Park. The vine-like asparagus fern is a Weed of National Significance that invades coastal and sub-coastal plant communities. It forms dense infestations that smother native species and prevents them from germinating and establishing themselves.
The Middle Head 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 habitat for the endangered long-nosed bandicoot.
- An informative tour of previously rehabilitated areas of the park, including historic sites.
- Guidance throughout from knowledgeable, friendly Discovery rangers and guides.
- Morning tea and lunch on request (additional fees apply).
The work involves removing weeds using handheld gardening tools. Volunteers ensure that the entire root system is removed, as well as the foliage. No chemicals are used during this activity.
By volunteering, your group will directly contribute to a meaningful bush regeneration conservation program. They'll also enjoy time in nature and work together, building stronger relationships through collaboration. They'll help us make a positive impact on the native habitats of the area, which is home to long-nosed bandicoots, water dragons, blue-tongue lizards, ring-tailed possums and green tree snakes.

What our volunteers say
Jason, senior technical consultant
‘I enjoyed my volunteer experience with NPWS out here because it’s a very meaningful way to contribute to the environment. It has been a great way to meet a lot of colleagues face-to-face, because I work remotely. It’s good to be away from my desk and help contribute to a better environment.’
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.’
