On Wednesday April 16th, 9am-11am, we will hold a working bee to tackle weeds in the areas where the ecological burn took place in December. Removing the weeds now will give native seeds in the soil a better chance to sprout and thrive.

We will meet at the New Road car park at 9am. Please bring sturdy shoes, gloves, and drinking water. We will provide you with tools, and morning tea which will be at 11 o'clock.

Please note there will be no midweek working bee on Wednesday May 7th. 

Summarising for May and April:

Wednesday 16 April  -  midweek working bee
Sunday 27 April - weekend working bee
Wednesday 7 May - NO working bee
Sunday 18 May  -  weekend working bee

We look forward to welcoming you at these events. 🌿
