Wetlands Cleanup by Canoe

Come and join us to clean up the Hunter Wetlands along Ironbark Creek. We will be using canoes to paddle along the creek collecting rubbish.

During a recent survey Clean4Shore estimated several tonnes of rubbish in the mangrove environment around nearby Kooragang Island so we expect there to be plenty to clear out at Ironbark Creek. 

As a reward for your hard work (as if the warm fuzzies of saving the environment aren't enough!) we'll have free catering to keep you sustained.

No experience is necessary and we will provide all the paddling equipment and some gardening gloves to protect yourself from sharp rubbish. You will need to bring clothes and shoes you don't mind getting wet (it will be muddy), as well as plenty of water and sunscreen. 

If you would like to reduce the carbon footprint of driving to/from the trip check out our carbon offset initiative! http://tdy.cl/se/28jhiHY

We will have hand sanitiser available for all and we ask that you all check https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates to ensure you have not been to any of the hot spots. More info around COVID safety will be emailed to you before the trip.

Please do not attend if:

• you have been overseas, in Victoria or at any of the hot spots in the last 14 days
• you are feeling unwell (any illness, not just flu-like symptoms)
• you are awaiting a COVID-19 test result
• you have had a positive COVID-19 result in the last 14 days
