Monday 4 July working bee

Our next scheduled working bee will be on Monday 4th July from 09.30am

We’re meeting at Wickens Place, Fraser to continue working against:

•  Fleabane (pulling up and beheading plants)
• Digging or pulling out Verbascum rosettes 
• Treating ‘woody weeds’ we come across.

This will happen within walking distance of Wickens Place. 

I found Mt Morgan wattle in glorious flower between Bird and Oster Places, Flynn earlier in the week….planted 15? years ago by Morrie and Fiona who used to live nearby. 

And someone has pulled up and dumped a number of dead wattles onto native plants deeper into the reserve behind Woodger Place. Presumably the someone didn’t like the untidiness…..the deaths were were caused by the Hazard Reduction Burn some years ago. (In the distance there was a HRB happening in NSW)

(Youths were having McDonalds and a ’smoke’ in the carpark. But the magpies liked the uneaten potato cakes) 

I recycled the bottle and kept the lid for the prosthetic limb collection project.

June and July working bees

Following the schedule of fourth Sundays and first Mondays of each month the next working bee comes up on Sunday 26th June.

We’re meeting at Rechner Place, Flynn for a 09.30 start…..finding and pulling up clusters of privet, cotoneaster and ivy seedlings that birds have brought in as seeds foraged from suburban gardens.

Probably the same time on Monday 4th July with the meeting place to be announced.
