Bush Restoration Photos, May 2019

20/5/2019

​What can one say about the Saturday just gone….. Well, the weather was stunning! Spring-like. And we SPRUNG into action and moved 40,000m3 of mulch from one place to another in the new old quarry, to keep our recent plantings company. And they’re doing very well, thank you! 
It was truly a team effort and great to stand back and look at the result of a little sweat and (no) tears. Thanks for all your help, helpers!

Keep up to date on with our group on Facebook.

​These balmy autumnal days make for wonderful walking in Glenfern. Here is a perfect photo taken by Rory. A sun drenched view of the old quarry area captured this afternoon.

Bush Restoration Photos, April 2019

Sunday was a beautiful morning and we spent it working through areas 4 and 5. 
We currently have sweet pittosporum removal by contractors happening in area 5, so it’ll be good to see that area given room to breathe again once the work is complete.

It was lovely to see new faces at the reserve, including some furry ones in some nesting boxes!

Thanks to all who came and enjoyed the bushlands with us.

Frog Bog Brimming With Life

20/6/2018

0 Comments

 
With the return of good rain the Glenfern ponds are full of life. The audio was recorded this afternoon at around six pm. The photos are a potted history of the ponds concept, construction and established ponds. The frogs calling are brown tree frogs (Litoria ewingi) Their call is a series of rapid harsh, whirring pulsing notes repeated 5-15 times - "creeeeeee creee creee cree cree cree" and the common eastern froglets (Crinia signifera) which make a chirping "crick crick crick crick crick". Thank you to the volunteers who have spend so much time on this project.

​Glenfern volunteers at our Bushlands Restoration on Saturday. We worked on the "old quarry" area - now transformed to a beautiful and peaceful spot in the middle of our bushlands. Photos of volunteers busy with activities during the morning.

This morning we did a little maintenance at GVB. Gravel was laid, the main gate and fence were re-painted and the picnic table was sanded and stained. Thank you everyone, it was a most enjoyable morning. I hope our President approves!
