Our first major working bee back since the lockdown 6 finished was a ripper. The weeds had been enjoying many months of growth uninterrupted – until that fateful day: the 21st of November. Check out our photos from areas 10 and 11, taken by myself, Daniel, as well as Linda and Nicole.

Snap of some of the volunteers in Glenfern today. We worked in areas 10 and 11, with main task of getting rid of boneseed and pittos. Great to see see our volunteers today - it has been a challenging year as the COVID-19 restrictions made us cancel most of our working bees. Many thanks to the willing Glenfern friends who helped out.  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. We held a mini working bee to spread the last of the mulch piles in the quarry. The new plants on the bank are doing amazingly well. Photos and words by Linda Fullagar
After a run of cancellations due to much welcome rain, we had a stunning day on Saturday for our last bush restoration of the year. And the only thing more exciting that spotting a snake in the grass was the morning tea. Thanks to all who showed up to lend a hand. A lovely time was had. Photos by Daniel Jackson
Saturday was a warm and humid day and saw us working below the quarry (areas 10 & 11), and later, along the creek. At morning tea, Andrew gave a talk about how to identify the beautiful Yellow Box Eucalyptus. And Mike shared with us his experience of making a rare sighting of a Scarlet Honeyeater; the last reported sighting of this stunning small bird in our reserve was in 2010. More details of this story will be shared in our next newsletter, along with some photos. This was our last working bee for the year. Thanks to everyone who joined us for one or more of our bush restoration mornings! The reserve is looking all the more better for it. Photos by Daniel Jackson
What a busy morning it was. We managed to plant 250 plants around the frog pond and weed Areas 10 and 11. It's all looking very good. Thanks to all the helpers and for providing the delicious morning tea. Photos by Linda Fullagar
