Friends of Trevallyn Reserve get together for a couple of hours a month to keep our Trevallyn bushland in fine form. This isn't too hard - a bit of weeding, sometimes some planting, and occasionally we look at wildlife, so it's relaxed and sociable. (Some locations do require a bit of rugged walking though - we'll note this in emails.) 10-12 on the second Saturday (or sometimes Sunday), except for January. Get on our email list so you can find out where each month's working bee is located. We share a cuppa afterwards most times and we often bring cake!
Last month we mapped and controlled Spanish heath undet the powerlines on Reatta road. This Saturday we will go and tackle another site, further along the powerline easement near Snake Gully. There are scattered Spanish heath that we have tackled before, but some more seedlings have germinated and it's time to go get rid of them.
Meet at 10am on Duck Reach Rd, halfway towards the Village Green and Hoo Hoo Hut, where the big "Dogs On Lead" sign is. There's a carpark on the right hand (west) side of the road. You will see that the South Esk Track starts there, and on the east side of the road is the start of the Snake Gully Track.
Come dressed in covered shoes and long pants for walking through the bracken. Bring a raincoat in case of drizzle. There is rain forecast at this stage, but it may become nothing. Wet ground makes it easy to pull out weeds. However, if it looks like unpleasant rain, we'll cancel. Keep an eye on the weather and on our Facebook page. Hopefully it will be fine enough, as spring starts springing and the birds have started singing.
Hope to see you there! If you can't find us, ring Anna on 0498 800 611
