Third Sunday working bee 21 January
We will work at The Fair, pulling Southern Blue Gum seedlings which have escaped from the neighbouring Valour Park. This beautiful gum is native to Victoria and the grassy woodland of Mount Majura is not the place for them. To avoid a small Blue Gum forest growing, we need to remove the seedlings. While we’re working there, we will also look out for other woody weeds to treat, such as Cootamundra Wattle (Acacia baileyana) and Sweet Briar roses (Rosa rubiginosa). This is a shady spot to work in at the height of summer. No experience necessary – the Blue Gum seedlings are easy to identify.
When: 9.00am to noon Sunday 21 January
Where: Meet at the entrance to the nature park, corner of Tay and Ian Nicol Streets North Watson.
Bring drinking water, sun protection, garden gloves if you have them. Wear clothes which cover your limbs and sturdy shoes. We provide tools and nitrile gloves and a cake for morning tea.
