You are all welcome to our weekend Bushland Restoration Morning, the final one for this year, to be held this coming Sunday November 17th from 9:30am - 12:30pm. We'll meet at the central entrance with the rock wall, and check for any weeds in a couple of areas. You are very welcome for all or part of the morning; or if you are unable to participate in the work, do feel free to join us at 11am, when we stop for morning tea and an informative talk about a plant, animal, or other aspect of the reserve. There will be a signboard at the entrance pointing out where you can find us. Please bring sturdy shoes, gloves and drinking water. We'll provide you with morning tea, tools, and hand sanitiser. Our final midweek Conservation & Conversation morning for 2024, is planned for Wednesday December 4th. We will send out a reminder ahead of then. As in the last number of years, we hope to start 2025 with a Picnic and Night Walk in February. We'll let you know the date soon! 🌿  The weather was superb for Sunday’s Bush Restoration that we spent planting Yellow Box, and removing Patterson's Curse and an Arum Lily. Others removed weeds in Area 3 where they saw a large kangaroo. At morning tea Mike gave a talk about the Southern water skink. (Pictured below.) All in all a great day to be in the reserve with friends. Join us next time on Wednesday 6 Nov at 9am, and/or Sunday 17 Nov at 9:30am.

Dear Friends and supporters, You are invited to our Annual General Meeting, that will be held on Thursday October 10th at 7pm, in the Upwey Township Hall (opposite the skateboard park). Join us for a presentation by Melvin Xu, mycologist and environmental educator. We will provide you with a light supper. At the AGM you will have the opportunity to hear about the work of our Friends Group, future plans and finances. It's a great opportunity to meet other members, to find out more about Glenfern Valley Bushlands and to become more active in the group. As in past years a new committee will be elected to carry the work forward. Our AGM will be followed by a brief committee meeting at which you are welcome to stay, if you are interested. There is no need to RSVP.  
Our volunteers spent a lovely morning on Sunday in Area 10 removing plenty of Sweet Pittosporum seedlings, among others. At morning tea we had a talk from Linda about the Asperula conferta AKA Common Woodruff, a cute perennial herb typically getting no higher than 20cm. We enjoyed photographing this and all the other small details of the reserve, so we hope you’ll enjoy taking a journey into the reserve through our camera lenses. Alternatively, get up close and personal with the reserve at our next event, the Conservation and Conversation morning on Wednesday 2nd of October at 9am. 🌿 Photos by Daniel & Nicole
