About the event

Planting Working Bee at wilding site (behind Best Motors)
Thanks to all those who came to plant on 27 July at the IFF site. After a rainy Friday and Saturday, the Sunday morning was not too bad for working, and the group planted over 100 plants.

We were also able to continue planting there during the past week when we were joined by an enthusiastic team from Tarrengower who took clumps of Phalaris aquatica in their stride and tackled other particularities of planting on our sites. Our thanks also go to them for an enjoyable session of learning and doing.

In a couple of weeks we will be back at this IFF site for our larger planting.

This Sunday ( August 10th) we will plant on the Wilding site behind the old Best Motors. Our aim here is to keep this section of our urban creek a place for protection for some of our indigenous creatures and quieter reflection for ourselves.

Some holes have been dug but we will need to dig a few more and, as always, make sure the planting spot is W**d-free. We are also aiming for over 100 plants at this spot, so many hands will make heavy work lighter and weather-proof conversation inspiring, as always.

Park at the Best Motors sign (32 Duke Street/Pyrenees Highway) and walk down to the site (E6 on the map on our website).
