🌿 Caring for Umina Beach Together 🌿
Umina Community Group proudly runs four Dunecare groups along Umina Beach, providing our community with a hands-on and meaningful way to help protect and restore our natural environment.
Working under the expert guidance of the Central Coast Council Landcare Program, volunteers are supported through education, training, tools, funding, and ongoing environmental management. Council staff, accredited supervisors, and contractors help guide the program, allowing volunteers to focus on the rewarding hands-on work of caring for
our coastline.
Our Dunecare program meets every Wednesday for two hours, with different meeting points depending on the week of the month.
Volunteers enjoy the opportunity to:
🌱 Improve the local environment
🤝 Meet neighbours and make new connections
🌿 Learn about local ecology and native plants
🌊 Spend time outdoors with a welcoming team
We are fortunate to have a diverse group of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds, including younger community members balancing study and work while still making time to give back.
Whether you can join regularly or occasionally, new volunteers are always warmly welcome. Together, we are helping protect the beauty and health of Umina Beach for future generations.
