Midweek Conservation & Conversation, Sept 2016

7/9/2016

The New Road car park end of the Reserve received a great tidy up by the Glenfern team this morning. Whipper-snippering, weeding, picking up rubbish and removing bags and stakes makes the area look more friendly and loved. We thought of our friends and long-standing members, Gill and Paul Derezycky who always helped keep this end neat.
The Ist Upwey Scouts will be assisting us with mulching and planting here at the next working bee. Thanks everyone.

The Yarra Ranges Council team, with assistance from our Friends group are planting 500 plants in what we affectionately call the 'giraffe enclosure' – the high fenced animal proof area in the old quarry site which is down Echidna Track.

Please bring a water-bottle, gloves and wear sturdy shoes.

Park at the main, middle car park (rock wall entrance), Glenfern Road, Upwey.

Saturday 17th September, 10am - 12pm. This will be combined with our 'Bush Restoration' morning rather than running it on 10th Sep as was originally planned, due to poor forecast weather.

We enjoyed having the Year 12 students from Fairhills High come for an educational visit. They also helped us remove the sleeves and stakes from some mature plantings. Thanks!
