Working Bee - Sunday 23 August 2026

Hello All,

Upcoming Working Bees:

• Sunday 23 August – 4^th Sunday of the Month
• Monday 7^th 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.
We’ll start at the “5 ways” junction, just down from the comms tower and work on the smaller Cootamundras in tight clusters. Loppers and dabbers at the ready!
 
Mt Rogers is looking great. 

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

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.

Working Bee - Sunday 26 July 2026

Come and join like-minded people who are passionate about caring for our own backyard as we wander through the bushland to remove invasive weeds.

Here is a Paterson's Curse rosette which we targeted during the last few working bees. Now is the time to remove them, before they advance further, flower and set seed!

No experience necessary - all welcome!

Meet at the main Mount Rogers carpark at Wickens Place, Fraser at 9am.

Working Bee - Monday 6 July 2026

Come and join us in the great outdoors for another satisfying working bee session!

Now is a great time to target weeds such as Mustard, Paterson's Curse and thistle rosettes, before they have a chance to flower and set seed.

Please dress appropriately for the bush terrain and colder weather including long pants, jacket, hat, sturdy boots, eye protection (glasses/safety glasses) and bring along a pair of gloves if you own a pair. Hand tools will be provided but you're welcome to bring your own small tools such as weeders and secateurs. 

Meet at Wickens Place Carpark in Fraser at 9 am.

For future working bees, mark your diaries for Sunday 26 July and Monday 3 August (usually 4^th Sunday and 1^st Monday of the month).

Roger & Ted (Co-convenors)
