# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Working Bee at Forest Creek - IFF Site
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 14 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 am
- **Event Description**: Thanks to a team of 4 from Djandak (Josh, Chris, Antoine and Renée), some 700-800 holes have been augered on the IFF site to give us a start on the preparation for planting there in the next couple of months  -  and the holes have all received the recent rain down their throats.

So this working bee will capitalise on the confluence of those events to make sure the holes are refilled/widened.  This is necessary to ensure that the plants are not planted too deeply, that they are planted in a slight saucer shape around the plant to hold any dry-period rain that falls and that we can get 3 stakes down through the rocks around the holes. Of course, all of the competitive weeds will be removed during this exercise, no?  Simples! 

There are 2 entrances to the site, as follows.

If the creek starts flowing the non-gumboot route is entrance E10 - cross Forest Creek just near the old Best Motors, then take the first left on the un-named road (almost opposite McGrath St), follow that around to the right and up the hill, park on the grass there, and walk down the hill.

Otherwise, come via entrance E4 on our website
https://castlemainelandcare.org.au/where-we-work/
Park on Happy Valley Rd near the intersection with Verlin St, and walk 100m along the walking track to the first flat area as a meeting point. Cross the creek and keep walking into the IFF site.  We will work downstream from there.

Phone Christine on 0418 325 350 if lost.

Bring a digging tool (or use one of ours), wear gloves and stout footwear.

We plan a yummy morning tea as well.
