Join Friends of Collinsvale to undertake regular weeding in the Collinsvale Reserve.

We have been working with Glenorchy City Council to control weeds and maintain a walking track in Collinsvale Reserve for a number of years. We have seen a marked reduction in infestations of blackberry, briar rose and Spanish heath. Council arranges for contractors to spray weeds periodically. Friends of Collinsvale follows up with weed control throughout the year. We either pull out small weeds by hand or use the “cut and paste” method. 

What to bring: Enthusiasm, family and friends!!! Gloves and secateurs (if you have them).

Safety: Please dress appropriately for the weather (it could be wet and windy, or hot and sunny). Bring a hat, sunscreen and insect repellent. The walking track and ground around the Landcare container is uneven. Please wear good walking shoes.

Cancellations/safety alerts: We will cancel the event if there is extreme fire danger or ice/snow alerts. A Cancellation notice will be posted on the public Facebook page “Events- Friends of Collinsvale”. Please check this page for updates.

Directions: Meet at the "Landcare Container" opposite the Dog Park. Drive up Hall Road, and continue to drive past the Collinsvale Memorial Hall, the Fire Station and the Machinery Club.  The "Landcare Container" will be on your right, up a small slope.

Other information: You don’t have to be a member of Friends of Collinsvale to join the activity. Just show up on the day. Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.
