Just a reminder about this Sunday’s working bee on the Creek.

This is not a pretty sight and we’re looking for lots of helpers. The Trees for Mum 2012 planting site is in desperate need of some love and attention, so if can spare an hour or two please come along and lend a hand. If you planted in 2012 we’d love to see you too.

Where: Site of the 2012 Trees for Mum planting, between

Sunday 2 March is Clean Up Australia Day – Come and join Woodend Landcare and the 1st Woodend Scouts as they Clean up Woodend

Where:      Rotunda near the Swimming Pool

When:       9:30 to 12:00 Sunday 2 March 2014

BYO:          Gloves, sturdy shoes and sun protection

Five Mile Creek will again be the central point for a Clean Up Woodend event. Depending on numbers, we’ll be cleaning up the pool/skatepark/library precinct, the Children’s Park, Racecourse and Gilbert Gordon Oval.

Every item of rubbish collected on the day is one less to be flushed into our waterways when it rains again. Last year we amassed a huge amount of junk in Woodend, with 12,700 items being pulled out of creeks and rivers throughout Victoria.

Anyone is welcome to come down and lend a hand for an hour or two in the morning
