About the Habitat Brisbane program 

The Habitat Brisbane program is a Council community bushcare volunteer program.

 The program helps to: 

  • encourage and support community involvement in a greener, more sustainable Brisbane 
  • assist volunteers to discover and become part of a local bushcare group
  • preserve and enhance our natural areas across Brisbane
  • provide hands-on experience in conservation activities
  • promote biodiversity in bushland, parks, wetlands and waterways.

What do bushcare groups do?

Habitat Brisbane supports volunteers in 150 bushcare groups. These groups carry out restoration on Council land to help protect bushland, parks, wetlands and waterways across Brisbane.

Join a bushcare group to make a difference. Get involved in activities that aim to conserve and restore our natural habitats and ecosystems.

As a part of a bushcare group, you can:

  • participate in weed removal, native plant revegetation and mulching
  • engage in citizen science projects and flora and fauna surveys
  • help build community partnerships and relationships.
