Woodend Landcare have received our third and final delivery of seedlings and cardboard plant guards for the Pollinator Corridor Project. Run by Upper Campaspe Landcare Network (UCLN), this project aims to bolster understorey and ground cover plants along riparian biolinks such as Five Mile Creek. When complete, we will have planted approximately 700 indigenous understorey seedings along Five Mile Creek as part of this project.

Locally native shrubs, herbs and grasses provide important food and shelter for small birds and insects, which are the main pollinators in natural ecosystems.

To enable all these seedlings to be planted before winter, we have scheduled an extra working bee on the Sunday 26 May. This gives us two more bee’s before we take a break for winter. See the flyer below for working bee details. Hope you are able to join in and help us get the seedlings in the ground.
