The Floating Landcare Program provides community volunteers with a unique wilderness land management experience right on the edge of Sydney. The program involves taking volunteers by boat to water access only bushland sites on the Hawkesbury River estuary and Brisbane Waters. Volunteers undertake bush regeneration to eradicate invasive weed species from hotspots in the native bushland, foreshore litter collection to reduce the impact of marine debris on mangrove and saltmarsh communities and marine wildlife. Floating Landcare is coordinated by Greater Sydney Local Land Services with the active support of its partners including Northern Beaches, Hornsby and Central Coast Councils, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and Landcare Australia.
