Join us to plant some more Pollinator Corridor seedlings and undertake site preparation and weeding along Five Mile Creek near Thomas Court, 9am-12pm Sunday 29 Oct. All welcome, including new comers and those with no gardening or landcare experience. As usual we’ll provide a tasty morning tea and social chit chat to break up the morning.
Join us for our AGM at 2pm Sunday 10 September, Woodend Neighbourhood House (47 Forrest St, Woodend).
Our guest speaker, John Walter (UCLN President) will be informing us about the Pollinator Corridors Project, which aims to revegetate waterways of the Upper Campaspe with insect and pollinator friendly food and habitat plants. Woodend Landcare is excited to be part of this important project.
Help us create habitat for native pollinators at our first Spring working bee (all be it a few days early) on Sun morning, 27 Aug. We’ll be undertaking site preparation, then planting seedlings along Five Mile Creek, east of Wood St towards the new pedestrian bridge. Hope to to see you there.
At many of our working bees over the next 12 months we will be undertaking site preparation and seedling planting. We have joined the Upper Campaspe Landcare Network’s Pollinator Corridor Project, so will be filling in our revegetation sites with an array of indigenous understorey seedlings, specifically chosen to provide habitat and food for native insects.
We hope to see you at our next round of working bees.
On 18 June 2023 we were filled with excitement, pride and nostalgia as we officially opened the Jo Clancy Bridge. After many years of work behind the scenes, it was a relief that the weather was kind and 60+ people gathered for the event.
Jo was a past president and involved with Woodend Landcare for about 15 years. For the story of Jo’s interesting life see Woodend Star, June 2023, page 3.
Upon her passing in 2018, Jo bequeathed her entire estate to Woodend Landcare. With the help of Macedon Ranges Shire Council, her generous gift was used to create Jo’s wish – a pedestrian bridge, across her beloved Five Mile Creek, not too far from where she lived.
Take a walk along Five Mile Creek and check out the bridge for yourself.
