BlazeAid Glenreagh Camp Remains Open During COVID-19

BlazeAid has been putting in place precautions to protect their volunteers and the community during the coronavirus outbreak. They are continuing to assist affected Orara Valley locals to rebuild their fences.

The Glenreagh Camp currently remains open. All remaining BlazeAid camps are required to abide by strict regulations regarding hygiene, social distancing and isolation.

In order to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, from Friday 27 March 2020, until further notice, BlazeAid is not accepting any local or new volunteers in their camps.

Due to early action and established protocols, all volunteers who are currently at base camps around the country have already been through a mandatory 14 day isolation period, and continue practicing minimal contact with communities.

This way, BlazeAid is still able to help the farmers in our communities still recovering from the bushfires.

Some of their volunteers have been billoted out to farm stays, where they will help rebuild until the COVID crisis ends. Others work out of a base camp and travel to farms, and no contact is made with farmers other than via phone.
