As International Volunteer Day was on 5 December, Star Mail interviewed a local volunteer who devotes her time to keeping the local parks up to scratch.
A Healesville resident has been cleaning barbecue facilities in the local parks.
Djadjawurrung woman Faye Cole said she wanted to help the local community.
“I clean all the nine barbecues and pick up rubbish in Queens Park, Coronation Park and Apex Park every day, twice a day,” the 72-year-old said.
“I saw the barbecues were dirty and they definitely needed to be cleaned, so I’ve been cleaning them since September.”
Ms Cole does the volunteering work around 10am and 4pm daily.
