Event Details
The Macquarie Rivulet needs your help! Located in Macquarie Pass National Park and home to the popular hiking destination Jump Rock, the Rivulet has seen a tremendous increase in visitors in recent years, due to the rise in popularity of scenic and formerly little-known spots such as Jump Rock on social media. This increased foot-traffic has led to a number of environmental issues arising or worsening, such as rubbish, graffiti, and weeds infestations.
Following on the success of the last Canyon Care day in May, we are going to continue our partnership with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, focusing our efforts on weed control. This will provide ecological benefits to the park and aesthetic benefits to its visitors. It’s custodianship like this we need more of, to protect the places we love.
This time around, we will focus our efforts on an area near the start of the trail which is heavily infested with Wild Tobacco Tree and other weeds. We will have morning tea provided on a grassy picnic spot, followed by cutting down the Wild Tobacco Trees and piling them near the car park for removal.
What to bring & wear: Please bring along a pair of gardening gloves, hat, long sleeves and pants, sturdy closed shoes, water and lunch, and a big dose of enthusiasm!
Fitness: You will require some level of agility for this project, in some areas the track is steep and narrow, and there will be a degree of navigating through slippery boulders in the creek. We do not recommend this project if you have ankle or knee injuries.
Other info: This is a 16+ event, you will need to make your own way to the site, but we encourage you to car pool where possible; try a little shout out in the event discussion.
