Attendees are asked to meet in the park on the North side of Lavenders Bridge at 9am for a briefing. However, organiser Tara Chandler also said people should “feel free though, to pop in and lend a hand at any time and for as long as you can afford. It is greatly appreciated”.

“The plan is to Clean Up the river, its parks and nature strips and seen as our town is so small, even head into town. After, there is the option to stay for a swim and picnic lunch.”

More information can be found here.

All volunteers need to register.

This can be done online or on the day.

Everyone who registers is offered one free class at YogaBellingen.

“The river is the centre of our town and I often think what would we do without it?” Tara said.

“I feel this is an opportunity to recognise its value, show our appreciation and give something back because “when the rubbish id gone nature can carry one”.
