Volunteering for Land Care.
If you love to care for your environment as we at Bokashi Composting Australia do. You may be interested in looking into how you can give a little of your time volunteering for a land care management project somewhere near you? By donating just a few hours of your time a month helping with native plant regeneration and other land care projects, you can further reduce your ‘environmental footprint’ and directly contribution to the further greening of Australia. Use the site links below to make contact with land care groups in your local area.
