Thank you to everyone who braved the heat to visit us at today’s Macedon
Ranges Sustainability Festival.  Weeds, plant suitability, mynas and the
weather were the topics for the day on the Landcare stand.  Ron talked myna trapping for most of the day while other Landcarers gave advice on Woodend weeds and natives.

Over 25 people signed up to follow our blog posts; everyone who signed up today went into a draw to win one of four snazzy Landcare water bottles. The winners have been notified by SMS.  Congratulations to:

1. Carmel
2. Jacqui
3. Leigh
4. Anita

It was also great to see three new families sign up as  members of Woodend
Landcare.  This was a terrific community event and we’ll be there again next
year.
