Mobilising to prevent species loss

We often hear about species on the brink of extinction or the climate on the brink of collapse – and this sounds quite daunting and hopeless.  

However, community and landholders can work together to push back that brink!

Get Involved

Are you time-poor and still want to contribute to improving biodiversity in the Hills?

We get together for about 2 hours per month on the third Sunday of the month at 9am - no commitment, attend as many events as you want. We plant and/or weed, then enjoy a light lunch washed down with a drink of your choice.

It's a great way to meet and chat with like-minded people, and connect yourself with the local community. Find out more by contacting Warren on 0408 444 592.

We, the Houghton Inglewood Hermitage Soldiers Memorial Park Committee (The Committee) have a big & bold vision for our hills community with a 2.5 million sports and community hub building at the Houghton Oval. The Committee has worked on developing a master plan for the last 15 years. Years of planning went into the design of the New Multiuse Community Facility and with everyone’s support we hope to be able to start building this year.

All committee members are volunteers, some working full-time, some semi retired. We are seeking people with specialist expertise in Marketing, Sponsorship/Fundraising to join our Committee as well as people willing to volunteer for specific events only. 

For further information please contact the Treasurer Han on 0404044752.

Community Visitor Volunteer

• Do you enjoy a chat?
• Or are you keen to meet someone new and interesting in your community?
• Ever considered becoming a Community Visitor volunteer?

We have opportunities for chatty and empathetic Community Visitor volunteers, who are good listeners, and enjoy being with older people.

By volunteering as a Community Visitor you will provide friendship and conversation to socially isolated elderly individuals living either at home or in residential care.

If you have 1 hour per fortnight to connect, share and celebrate life experiences then consider volunteering as a Community Visitor. We have multiple opportunities for people to join our team in the Adelaide Hills and Mount Barker regions.

The Community Visitors Scheme is an Australian Government funded program established to promote links between people living in an aged care home or in their own homes and the wider community.

To find out more about this volunteer role please contact the Community Visitors Scheme Team Leader Sonja on 0419 866 385 or go to the Lutheran Care website lccare.org.au and apply to volunteer.
