Upcoming: Bush Restoration, 21 Nov 2021

17/11/2021

Welcome to our Bushland Restoration Morning. With a small miracle, the weather will be clear for Sunday and we'll be able to go ahead with our first weekend restoration in a long time.

We meet at the central car park. No experience needed, we'll show you what to do. We will provide tools and hand sanitiser, but BYO gloves. Please be aware that snakes may be active.

There are a few instructions that we need to follow...

On your arrival there will be the usual attendance form to sign in, plus a form to declare that you comply with the vaccination requirements. Please note that this is NOT a disclosure of your vaccination status.

See our recent email for details of those requirements mandated by the Yarra Ranges Council or contact us if you didn't receive it.

Please carry your mask with you. You don't need to wear it, but bring it with you just in case.

Bring your own gloves and morning tea. Observe social distancing of 1.5 metres.

We look forward to seeing you at the reserve if you have a spare hour or three to join in.
