Fishcare Volunteers

Many are aware that the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) run a program that is evidently one of the most successful volunteer programs in NSW.

Volunteers run workshops, get involved in local community fishing events, surveys and school programs.

Through this involvement they have a platform to educate anglers and the wider public about fishing rules, how to fish responsibly.

Interested in fish, fishing and the conservation of fish resources and habitat and are over the age of 18 this may be the role for you.

Training is provided, once you are part of the program they issue you identification and gear to fulfil the role.

Brett Smith is the contact for our region. He is based in Dubbo and can be contacted on 6881 1222.
