Bushwalking Victoria is seeking volunteers for track clearing in the Grampians.
If you are interested please contact the organisers below.
Grampians National Park | Track Clearing
Friday, 5 May to Sunday, 7 May 2017
The Victorian Mountain Tramping Club and Melbourne Bushwalkers have scheduled their annual track clearing in the Grampians for Saturday and Sunday 6-7th May and are inviting BTAC volunteers to attend.
The track clearing will probably be in the Eastern Grampians. There will be a variety of work to be undertaken, requiring a range of skills and experiences. Jobs include chain sawing, brush cutting, clearing of debris, transporting equipment & fuel, as well as trimming vegetation away from the track with loppers and hand saws.
We will be camping by the cars on Friday and Saturday night. Parks Victoria will organise for volunteers to have free camping at one of the campsites in the area, we don’t have the exact details yet. Parks and the Support Group will have plenty of tools, but it would be good for people to come equipped with their own personal protective equipment such as sturdy boots, gloves and safety glasses. People should bring a daypack with all requirements for the day, lunch, water, raincoat, warm clothes. Participants need to bring their own meals and optional nibblies to share on Saturday night.
For more details and to register your interest please contact the Project Leaders:
