Bundalong Regeneration and weeding

This is an event to celebrate National Eucalypt Day. Our habitat working bee is on 15th March at YMCA Bundalong Camp, Byrnes Rd, 7.30am-10.30am. Look for the bushcare sign on the right-hand side by the gate. Address and location map can be found on this page. Planting will be dependent on weather as the ground needs to have some rain before more new plants can be put in. Over 200 native plants went into the ground on 15th Feb at our last working bee. There will be some planting and then maintenance around these previous plantings. (Article for 15th Feb). Wire mesh was placed around the eucalypts to discourage the local macropods (wallabies). Any plant protection covers may need hand weeding. If it's been dry, we will hand water from 5lt containers.

This habitat site is so important for the area due to all the work in and around Youngs Crossing Rd and the new bridge installation. The road widening and straightening has meant the removal of huge established eucalypt trees, which has seen a lot of the wildlife pushed up towards the corridor between Byrnes Rd and Dayboro Rd. Please come and join us.
