Bush Restoration Photos, February 2020

16/2/2020

Our first bush restoration of the year was spent mainly removing boneseed from the lovely & grassy area 5. We also got to observe a small copperhead snake near one of the paths.

It was good to get out in the bush again, and to see the Glenfernians after a couple of months away!

Enjoy the photos. And you're all invited to the Upwey Billycart Race this Sunday where some of us will be volunteering!

Bush Restoration Photos, Nov 2019

18/11/2019

Our final bush restoration for the year took place on Saturday below and beside the old quarry, in areas 10 & 11, respectively.

Thanks to those who helped on the day; the weeds and rubbish wish you hadn’t, but we’re sure glad you did. No snakes were spotted that morning, but something with scales was… (And I’m not talking about a personal trainer.)

Most photos by myself, Daniel, with some contributions from Pol and Edie.

Member's Day 2019

20/10/2019

On yesterday’s Member’s Day, we broke into three groups to tour the reserve. The first group visited our nesting boxes with the pole camera, to take a look at the resident sugar gliders. The second walked through the areas where large areas of sweet pittosporum have been removed and indigenous species have been planted. And the third group (that I joined, that most of the following photos are from) went bushwalking through the reserve to see how it’s been effected by the changing climate. And to consider what approach we might now take with our continuing bush restoration.
We were also reunited with our recently restored working bee trailer, with many thanks to Lindsay for the work done.

Bush Restoration Photos, September 2019

21/9/2019

Flash back to Saturday 21 September when just after our morning tea and talk about microbats, it began to rain. We'd been working north of the creek in area 15. However, the heavens had other ideas.
It was a short and sweet bush restoration.
