Trekking from mangroves to rain forest we didn't let the wet weather stop us! Get Your Hands Dirty volunteers headed into Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park last Saturday to take out buffalo grass that was encroaching upon the native ecosystems along Cockle Creek. We saw some stunning landscapes and wildlife along the way, including crabs living below the mangroves and a lace monitor.

Thanks heaps to everyone who came along and to our Discovery Guide, Baz and Hester from the local Bushcare group, and NPWS North West for being stellar hosts! 🌿🦎🌸
