The veteran-led team, previously known as Team Rubicon, will be back in the Bega Valley area for around 10 weeks to assist community members with bushfire clear-up work.
Volunteers will focus on the Cobargo area and assist with a variety of tasks, including chainsaw operations to remove burnt and dangerous trees, brush cutting and removing undergrowth, fence line clearing and debris removal.
The organisation was, unfortunately, forced to suspend earlier operations because of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and was pleased to return to further assist the community in its continued recovery.
Residents who require bushfire-related assistance are welcome and encouraged to contact the DRA team.
People can call 0419 134 078 or email BVRecovery@disasterreliefaus.org with the details.
