Please come and help remove the rampant Cleavers (Sticky weeds) at a lovely site with old-growth Yellow Box trees.
Members of the Australian Conservation Foundation joined FoMM volunteers last Sunday and together we cleaned up two-thirds of the Cleavers as well as many Slender thistles, Sowthistles, Indian Hedge Mustard and other herbaceous weeds.
Help to remove more of the above-mentioned weeds before they drop their seeds.

Many thanks to the weeders Sarah, Ernestine, Jenny, Jim, Jarrod, Dylan, Bruce and Max and thanks heaps to our ParkCare support ranger Marty and team for promptly picking up the cleavers and the bags and returning them empty for another fill.
