Bush Restoration Photos, February 2021

The boneseed in areas 5 & 9 had enjoyed being out of our sights during the postponed bush restorations of last year. So there was plenty to do and many photos to take. In fact some wallabies were spotted off in the distance in the reserve. It was a good day to be outdoors.

Covid-19 restrictions has held up our tree planting program this season. We have had 150 seedlings in limbo as volunteering is not a permitted activity during Stage Four lock-down.

Council have very generously stepped in to help us. Many thanks to Steve Feather and his team the 150 plants are in the ground.

They are located in the area cleared of pittosporum earlier this year - west (high side) of Wallaby Walk. Thank you Yarra Ranges Council for getting the plants in. Our bush regeneration is alive and well!

Our first bush restoration of the year was spent mainly removing boneseed from the lovely & grassy area 5. We also got to observe a small copperhead snake near one of the paths.

It was good to get out in the bush again, and to see the Glenfernians after a couple of months away!

Enjoy the photos. And you're all invited to the Upwey Billycart Race this Sunday where some of us will be volunteering!

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.
