Current Opportunities

Franke Scrub (Bushcare - Highfields)

Join the Green Guardians of Franke Scrub

Looking for a meaningful way to spend your morning? Join a passionate group of volunteers who’ve been safeguarding Highfield’s Franke Scrub's unique and endangered environment for nearly two decades. 

 About Franke Scrub

Franke Scrub is a small but ecologically significant remnant of dry rainforest, covering approximately 1.5 hectares. Despite its small size, Franke Scrub is incredibly species-rich, home to over 50 species of trees and shrubs, along with more than 15 types of climbers. Its biodiversity makes it a vital refuge for native flora and a valuable site for conservation efforts.

 

About the Franke Scrub Team

Franke Scrub Volunteers meet on the last Wednesday of each month, from 8 am to 11 am, working independently to manage invasive weeds using supplied tools such as pruners and bush saws. The morning includes a refreshing tea break offering a chance to connect—because community is just as important as conservation.

New volunteers will receive a friendly induction into the organisation, including guidance on safe working practices and how we operate on-site—so you’ll feel confident and supported from day one.

  

Whether you're a seasoned bush regenerator or just starting out, your time and energy can make a real impact. 

 

Make a difference. Feel connected. Help nature thrive.

Pittsworth Pioneer Historical Village

The Pioneer Historical Village provides a lasting reminder of the early development of Pittsworth and surrounding rural district through the use of original buildings, equipment and artefacts. 

The site was established by the Pittsworth and District Historical Society in conjunction with Council.

There are many displays, including buildings set up in the era, apparel, lace work, early settlers, settlements and machinery.

The museum is also home to a display of memorabilia boasting the feats of Arthur Postle, known as the "Crimson Flash" – Australia and the world's one-time fastest athlete.

Volunteers assist in a wide range of activities to keep this wonderful local attraction accessible for visitors to the area. For more information on volunteering with Pittsworth Pioneer Village, please call (07) 4619 8388.
