A quick note to let you know that we will hold an extra midweek working bee this coming Wednesday 14 November, from 9am till 11am. We are just trying to get Glenfern in good shape for the summer.
This time we meet at the New Rd car park, to tidy around the lovely native plantings there. At 11am we conclude with morning tea at the picnic table. Morning tea provided. A couple of whipper snippers would be very handy as there is some long grass to cut. Please bring gloves and a smile and we will make quick work of this task. Photo is of an Eastern grey roo near the picnic table at the New Rd entrance!

Yesterday's rain had given the Reserve a good soak making the weeds easier to pull. We also spread a bit more of the mulch - nearly there with that - topped up the gravel around the logs and whipper-snipped the main entrance. Looking good.

Everyone welcome at our next Midweek Conservation and Conversation this Wednesday 7th November, 9-11am, followed by morning tea. We meet at the central car park.
We will be working in the old quarry area - spreading mulch and doing a tidy up. A whipper-snipper or two would be handy. Bring gloves and a smile. See flyer for other events.

Update: 4 July has been cancelled due to safety concerns with the high winds.

This afternoon we went for a walk in Glenfern and noticed how much it has suffered without rain. Many of the Peppermints on the upper slopes look under stress and smaller plants have dried brown leaves but are still alive. Let's hope the recent rain came in time to save them.

Next Wednesday, April 4th, is our regular Conservation and Conversation morning. We plan on working in Area 7 removing any Pittosporum seedlings and other weeds (which are still appearing despite the drought) in this recently chipped area. It is fairly open underfoot so the weeds are quite obvious and we can show what to do if required.

If you would like to join in meet us at the main, middle gate, Glenfern Road at 9am. The gates will be open so you can park inside. At 11am we stop for a cuppa and chat. Morning tea is provided but please bring gloves and your tools.

UPDATE: The working bee scheduled for Saturday 17 March has been cancelled as that day has been declared a day of Total Fire Ban.
