Dog Rocks Sanctuary weed removal, Batesford
Batesford, Victoria

The Moorabool River is one of Geelong's major waterways and provides home to a number of plants and animals, incluyding platypus.

Join us along the Moorabool River as we assist to remove invasive weeds from the riverside reserve. This will allow native plants to re-colonise, stabilise the bank and improve water quality for the animals that live in the river.

This section of River in Batesford is in good condition, but surrounded by farmland and houses. We need your help to keep it in tip-top shape for years to come.

Join us for a great day out learning weed ID skills, helping to protect this unique spot, meeting new people and breathing in the fresh air.

We will provide transport from South Geelong, departing at 8.15am and returning around 4pm. Volunteers need to bring their lunch and a bottle of water, as well as wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and boots or sturdy shoes. It is also recommended that volunteers bring and use a broad-brimmed hat, sun-screen (30+) and insect repellent.
