This important tidy up is to tackle emerging weeds in the Scout Billabong planting of 2013.

Landcare and Woodend Scouts planted 318 native grasses, shrubs and trees which now need a little attention.

Please help us give a little TLC to the rehabilitation work done and continue to beautify this lovely little backwater alongside the creek.

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.

This month’s working bee will be at the Envirofund site. We’re going to tidy up around the specimen trees planted a couple of years ago, deal with emerging gorse & broom, as well as check or remove the plant guards on the watercourse. So, lots of mechanised and non-mechanised jobs to do and we would love to see any or all of you there.

Note: this is our last bee until a twilight bee on 31 January.

When: 9:00 start, Sunday 24 November
Where: Park your cars near Badger Removals in Wood St
Bring: BYO brushcutters, loppers and secateurs
