In view of the forecast strong and gusty winds we have decided to
postpone the Landcare session (that would normally have been on Monday 7th)
until Monday 14th October.

Landcare on Sunday 22 September
There will be a Landcare session on Sunday 22nd September from 09.30 am,
meeting at Mildenhall Place, Fraser.
If you have mini-mattocks please bring them as the soil has dried out compared to months ago when we began this preventative weeding process.
We have some pairs of gaiters available.
Thank you,

Monday 2 September wander and weed!
On Monday 2 September we'll meet again at Schey Place in Spence for 9.30am. Five of us had a successful session on Sunday 25 August from that starting point. Many many many baby privets (and some baby ivy) lost their roots!
The wattles are starting to bloom, and the native clematis (cream colour) and native sarsparilla (purple) are in flower.

Landcare on Sunday 25 August
Greetings Mt Rogers Landcarers
We’ll meet in Schey Place, Spence at 09.30am.
We’ll continue to search for and pull up privet seedlings and saplings
The soil remaining moist makes the pulling mostly successful.
We can supply gloves and secateurs.
