Special offer to DBC members: Anzac Day " weekend" (take Friday off work)

Details

Anzac Day "weekend" Thursday-Sunday
Litchfield National Park

Event information

This event has passed.

A special offer to DBC members - come along to a good base camp with pool a couple of hours walk in from Florence Falls, then help us survey and control gamba grass infestations along the beautiful gullies nearby, to protect the future for this part of the park. Leave Darwin early Thursday morning.

Note this is not a DBC trip, however you would be covered by similar insurances as if it was. You would need to register as a volunteer with Parks and Wildlife Commission NT (we send you a form, takes 5 minutes to fill out) and you would also be joining Weedwalkers Top End Landcare Group (half the Weedwalker volunteers are DBC members).

To enquire about joining this trip as a volunteer, or any other Weedwalkers trips, email weedwalkers.topend@gmail.com with your phone number and Andy will get back to you. Young, old and anyone in between are all welcome, as are visitors to Darwin, international students etc etc! 

Why bother volunteer to protect the Tabletop and Tableland Rangers in LNP from gamba? A recent CDU report warns of "an end point of ecosystem collapse" for habitats in LNP if substantial and sustained action is not taken soon against the spread of invasive, highly-flammable gamba grass. Needless to say, this would also mean the end of any bushwalking in the park for our kids, grandkids and future generations.You could be part of this action!
