Organise a Community Partnership Day

Engaging with local businesses since 2001, the City of Ryde Bushcare Program has provided opportunities for staff to become involved with bushcare activities within the City of Ryde. Strong partnerships have been forged, with some businesses returning year after year to continue work in the same park. 

It is an opportunity for companies to promote team-building activities and environmental and community awareness. Corporate volunteers will be able to experience an activity outside their usual and have a sense of satisfaction. 

By providing a well-structured Corporate Partnership Program, the City of Ryde Bushcare Program aims to expand on work already undertaken in bushland areas and form networks with local businesses. The focus will be on long term strategic projects which enhance biodiversity conservation and improve the effectiveness of bushland management.

Past Community Partnership Days

St Ignatius College

For over 20 years, St Ignatius have contributed to the canopy cover in our parks. Each July they roll up their sleeves to mulch and plant at Magdala Park, Marsfield Park, Tuckwell Park, ELS Hall Park & Blenheim Park. It is great to see young students helping to improve local wildlife corridors.

POSCO International Corporation

Staff from POSCO International Corporation helped to transform a bushland area at Field of Mars Reserve. Loppers and saws were used to remove an infestation of woody weeds such as lantana. We commend them on their support and hope to work with them again.

 Tzu Chi

Tzu Chi has partnered with City of Ryde for 18 years to assist with regular mulching and planting activities. In 2023 they joined us again to plant and mulch areas in ELS Hall Park and at Winbourne St, Eastwood. We thank them for their continued efforts within the City of Ryde.

 Fuji Film

 Fuji Film joined City of Ryde twice in 2023 to weed, mulch and plant at ELS Hall Park. They planted over 300 native species, which is a continuation to the previous National Tree Day events.

 The Rotary Club of Ryde

The Rotary Club of Ryde is helping to transform Shrimptons Creek with regular mulching and planting activities at ELS Hall Park and Greenwood Park since 2023. As a local group it was a great partnership, and we thank them for their continued contributions.
