LANDCARE Illawarra will be running a free workshop and guided bushwalk on Saturday November 3.

The workshopwill be visiting the old Corrimal Colliery, which is now privately owned.

Landcare Illawarra community support officer Megan Rowlatt said the landholder has been undertaking bush regeneration on the property for the last three years and will share information about over 100 years of mining history on the site, as well as the techniques he and his partner have been using to rehabilitate the native vegetation.

Lunch will be provided and all participants will be given weed ID resources and a species list to learn on the day. RSVP by October 31. The guided walk will involve visiting uneven and steep slopes. Call 02 4229 7526 for more information or visit www.landcareillawarra.org.au
