More on our HELPERS

To involve the community in creating a sustainable and productive environment we are indebted to all the people who contribute their time to help LCN fulfil its mission.

One hundred and two people were listed on the volunteer register in 2013 and each gave an average of 91 hours a month [compared to the previous year's 29 hours].

We have people who perform a variety of tasks including general maintenance, minor construction, welding, reticulation, pot washing, soil preparation, weeding, general cleaning, producing plant cuttings, sowing seeds and monitoring plant health.

Volunteers have assumed leadership in all aspects of the nursery: Revegetation Production, Landscape Plant Production, and Nursery Care and Maintenance.

Volunteer South West in Bunbury is a key source of referrals. Other agencies also provide volunteers. Work for the Dole referrals come from Community First and Skill Hire. There are referrals from People Sense, Forrest Personnel, and Enable. We're very fortunate to have a large number of volunteers with an even larger range of skills who come along, regularly or otherwise, and add to the fun and social atmosphereat the nursery.

We have people who are good at fixing things, people who know all about plants or reticulation, people who can use computer databases and people who bake delicious goodies for morning tea. It really doesn't matter what your specialty is or even if you want to try a new one -you will be welcome and there will be a place for you at the nursery.

There are regular visits from community groups, primary and secondary schools, SW Institute of Technology students and others who want to learn about growing native plants.These visits provide the chance to build new links and in many instances, they have led to exciting and very productive relationships.

Please call the Nursery on 9791 4670 if you want to know more about volunteering.

Hours are from 7am to 12pm and you are welcome for an hour or a morning: whatever suits you...
