Spring Outdoors Festival working bees

Published on 01 September 2025

We are teaming up with Manningham and Nillumbik councils to celebrate spring outdoors.

We have over 30 events planned from September to November, as well as a number of friends-of groups working bees.

Working bees

Joining a friends-of group is a great way to get outdoors, help the environment, and meet like-minded members of your local community.

Our extensive network of bushland reserves and wildlife corridors are jointly managed by the Bush Crew and the various friends-of groups and other environmental volunteer groups.

Volunteer groups assist with indigenous plantings, wildlife surveys and ongoing weed management.

Most groups hold working bees over a couple of hours on one weekend each month.

Things to know

• No booking is required to attend the working bees.
• Times and locations are subject to change.
• Contact the friends-of group to confirm date, time (most bees are between 10am-12pm) and meeting locations.
