Working Bee - Sunday 27 September 2026

Hi all,

Next Working Bee will be Sunday 27 Sep.
Meet at Wickens Place carpark at 9.00 am.

The plan is to work our way around the hill anti-clockwise starting at the carpark. Each subsequent session will pick up where we left off the previous session. Occasionally we may vary this by targeting something specific that has been identified for immediate action.

Hope to see you there.
Feel free to bring a friend!

Regards,
Phil (Co-convenor)
 
The next session after this will be 9.00 am Monday 5 Oct.

Working Bee - Monday 7 September 2026

Hi All,

As per previous emails and notice posted on the hill, the next session is Monday 7 Sep.
Meet at 9.00am at Wickens Place carpark.

We will pick up where we left off last time, culling CW saplings at the top of the gully, just north of and down from the comms tower (5 ways track junction).
 
Feel free to invite someone else along!

Regards,
Phil, Roger & Ted (Co-convenors)

Hello All,

Upcoming Working Bees:
  • Sunday 23 August – 4th Sunday of the Month
  • Monday 7th September – First Monday of the month
Meet at Wickens Place Carpark at 9.00am.
 
Please encourage others to attend. 
We’ll be tackling the usual weed suspects such as Privet, ivy, Briar Rose, and assorted others if we see them.

Mt Rogers is looking great.

Working Bee, 3 August, Snapshot

I thought I'd share this amusing photo of one of the curious locals who was keen to have their photo taken alongside a soon-to-be-removed, thistle rosette!

Much like the Paterson's curse rosette, thistles have a central tap root. It's far easier to remove them at this early stage of development and at a time when the soil is moist after rain.
