254 Trees for Mum

A reminder that our next working bee is on Sunday, 23 November at the 2013 Trees for Mum site from 9am to 12pm.

Parking is next to the weir which is accessed via the northern bike track through Ruby McKenzie Park in Tennyson Street. If you need to drive up to the site please use your car hazard lights along the bike track.

Some serious whipper snipping is required, as well as cutting and pasting of woody weeds and some tree guard maintenance. The Landcare tool trailer will be on site.

Our trusty caterer Jo is unavailable on Sunday so please BYO morning tea.

Hope to see you on Sunday 23rd. The more the merrier.

Thank you.

Boy, were they excited!

This is reminder that the next Sunday working bee will be concentrating on the Tennyson Street willow removal area where the recent plantings need clearing around by first carefully locating the plants, stomping the grass down and then whipper snipping around them. Nearby there are some areas requiring plant guard removal, some cutting and painting of woody weeds and some other recent plantings requiring whipper snipping.

Sunday 26 October from 9 am to 12pm.

Parking is at the Southern end of Tennyson St.

The Landcare trailer will be onsite and morning tea will be provided.

Bring your own gloves, sturdy footwear, sun protection, eye and ear protection if using machinery, secateurs, knife, whipper snipper etc. There is a range of tasks at this site so a good attendance would be appreciated.

Newcomers are also welcome to attend and help improve the creekside environment.

Woodend Landcare invites you to a planting session and unveiling of historic Lake Earnshaw. This 1920s swimming hole has been lovingly reclaimed thanks to lots of hard yakka from Landcare’s Thursday Crew!
