A '''Bushcare Group''' is a [volunteer](/source/Volunteering) group that conducts [bush regeneration](/source/bush_regeneration) to aid biodiversity conservation on public or private [bushland](/source/bushland) in Australia.
Bushcare groups have arisen due to rising community support for conservation and this has driven the allocation of native vegetation remnants to conservation through [ecological restoration](/source/restoration_ecology).[{{cite journal

There are numerous Bushcare Groups in Australia working as volunteers to restore remnant patches of native bushland on public lands. For example, in the [Blue Mountains](/source/Blue_Mountains_(New_South_Wales)) just outside [Sydney](/source/Sydney), there are now 50 such ''Bush Regeneration Groups'' working to restore bushland. Most suburban councils are involved in bushcare to varying degrees,
