The next Mt Rogers Working Bee will be on Sunday 25th June.
We’ll meet, by 09.30, near the main path above the easement between Carey Place, Melba and Hammett Place, Spence. There’s parking in both of these cul-de-sacs.
We’ll be continuing seeking and pulling up seedlings and saplings of introduced species:
*Privet,
*Cotoneaster,
*Ivy,
as they will deprive native shrubs and trees of space, rain and nutrients if left to grow to maturity.

In the above photo, the new tools that the Ginninderra Catchment Group https://ginninderralandcare.
has funded for our Landcare volunteers are being used in removing a large Cotoneaster.
The red berries were bagged and the leafy branches were placed around a eucalypt where they will decay, with fungal
and microbial help, returning nutrients to the reserve’s thin soils.
Please dress for the expected weather.
We can supply suitable gloves and secateurs
and we welcome your company and muscle-power!
