Environmental Corporate Volunteering in Sydney
Fourteen volunteers from Air Liquide generously dedicated their time to join forces with Greater Sydney Landcare and the Mudcrabs at Marrickville Golf Club, where they diligently tackled the removal of invasive weeds encroaching upon native plants.
This activity is pivotal as it paves the way for the future planting site—a crucial step towards enhancing the diversity of indigenous flora in the area.
Working Together for Ecological Restoration
Nestled alongside the tranquil banks of the Cooks River, Marrickville Golf Club assumes its responsibility in fostering a thriving ecosystem. Through the preservation of remnant vegetation like the riverine Mangroves, meticulous weed removal, and the strategic planting of a myriad of native trees, the club endeavours to enrich the canopy cover while providing essential habitat for local wildlife.
The tireless efforts of the environmental community group, the Mudcrabs, have been instrumental in championing these initiatives along the Cooks River.
Thanks Air Liquide! Removing weeds allows native species to regenerate and increases biodiversity. 
Chris and Peter from The Mudcrabs – Cooks River Eco Volunteers – helped run the day. 
Thank you to the Mudcrabs for looking after habitat along the Cooks River, and teaching the Air Liquide volunteers about this special area.
In a heartening display of solidarity, representatives Chris and Peter from the Mudcrabs joined Air Liquide volunteers during the Bushcare event, extending gratitude for their invaluable support.
Club President Andrew Tighe, buoyed by the collective efforts, envisions transforming Marrickville Golf Club into a botanical haven where golf intersects with nature. He enthusiastically welcomes the assistance of corporate sponsors, recognising their role in realising this ambitious vision.
Thank you to Air Liquide, the Mudcrabs, and Marrickville Golf Club for their fantastic efforts to improve our environment.
