Happy New Year – it’s time to get back to work
Happy New Year to all our members and blog followers. We hope you had a good break.
The holidays are now over for Woodend Landcare and we’re looking for lots of helpers at our twilight working bee on Friday 1st February from 5pm.
The list of jobs has grown over the summer break. We need to whipper snipper and mow around the new plants, water our exotic trees and generally have a good tidy up. There’s something for everyone.
Despite the dry conditions the weeds and grasses have shot up so we really need to get on top of them before they hinder the growth of our new plantings.
Fingers crossed it won’t be too hot and we’ll get a great turn out. If the CFA declare a total fire ban we will, in line with our safety policy, cancel this event and update this blog to notify you.
The team will meet out the back of the St Ambrose school oval behind Badger Removals on Wood Street, off Urquhart Street. Just follow the Woodend Landcare signs. See map below.
Refreshments and a casual BBQ will be provided on the day. Please bring a whipper snipper if you have one, and hat, gloves and sturdy boots.
To register your interest, and to help with catering numbers, please contact Peter on 5427 3221 or email woodendlandcare@gmail.com if you can lend a hand on 1st February from 5pm.
Thank you in advance for your valuable support – many hands make light work!
