We are feeling quite satisfied as this morning we ticked many things off our Area 1 to-do list. ✅Repaired entrance path ✅Whipper-snippered the embankment ✅Weeded thistles, blackberries, euphorbia and nightshade etc ✅Cut off the flowering heads of Purpletop to stop seeding ✅Re-staked the little Yellow box trees that we planted a few years ago - they have survived the harsh weather and are looking good ✅Picked up the never-ending rubbish that gets dumped ✅Removed the old sleeves and stakes from previous plantings Our two hours work was followed by delicious morning tea and a good yarn around the picnic table. Thanks everyone. Photos by Linda A sunny Sunday 15 February saw the Glenfern volunteers wander through area 9, along the creek, removing weeds and appreciating the efforts of previous bush restoration mornings, from the previous 25 years or so. Thank you volunteers of the past and present! Future volunteers can join us on one of our Sundays (third Sunday of the month) or Wednesdays (first of the month). Our next midweek Conservation & Conversation will be held on Wednesday 4 March, 9am-11am. Photos by Daniel J, Jackson E & Mike S.

We hope to see you there. ✨ 
Today was our last Conservation & Conversation/bush restoration morning for the year. It was great to be back in Area 2 and to see more orchids and other germinates coping very well amongst the native and pasture grasses. Thanks to all of those who came out to make it a lovely and productive morning!
