Bush Restoration Photos, May 2016

Saturday greeted us with pleasant Autumn weather and clear skies, as we headed into area 6. Thinning out the forest of pittos was the main focus for most of the morning, until a rogue group of boneseed was found. Standing at six feet tall, they reminded long-time members of what the reserve used to be covered with, before they removed thousands of these weeds.

At morning tea, we were joined by the Maroondah Bushwalking Club, led by Glenfern member, Christine. We listened to a talk from Mike on nesting boxes, and bats and sugar gliders, then Mike and David fielded questions about Glenfern and our group. Was a great day! And thanks, as always, to those that came along.

Thanks to everyone who came to Wednesday's working bee and helped plant 300 plants around the new frog pond. We also added a few logs and branches which will help attract the frogs.

Building Frog Pond 2, April 2016

It took all day to make the frog pond. With help from a local company, Simcon, we fine tuned the pond's earthwork, then sand was laid as a base, then the liner, shade-cloth and then another layer of sand. Rocks were laid around the edge to hold the liner in place.
The pond is filled from the overflow of the first pond so we expect over summer that this one may dry out.
