News & Updates

Good morning, I hope everyone is well.

Just a couple quick notes:

- Work session today - we've got some reveg to plant near the coastal track and a beach clean-up at Matches beach. Meeting at the FOLD nursery at 3pm and heading out together from there.

- We're continuing with our polygala removal project alongside the Burrandies Indigenous crew. Meeting at the ranger station at 9:30, and we'll have a morning and afternoon session. Let me know if you're planning to come!

Thanks to everyone coming out to our work sessions in the last few weeks. We've made great progress on nursery jobs, reveg planting, coastal track maintenance and beach clean-ups!

With many thanks.

Good evening all, I hope everyone is well.

Just a quick reminder for our weekly work session tomorrow afternoon. We've got reveg area checks, trail maintenance, and nursery work to choose from! 3pm at the FOLD nursery and we'll go from there.

Thanks to everyone who's been coming out in the last couple weeks. We've made great progress on campground clean-ups and nursery efforts for this (and next) year's reveg projects.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Easter weekend!

Thanks. Roland

Good morning all,

PS And thanks to the crew who came out to Long Gully Campground last weekend, it was great to see how well the reveg trees were going considering the dry period we're in!

Good evening all,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. We're planning to head out to Long Gully campground for a clean-up and a check-in on our revegetation site(s) there. 

Meeting at the FOLD nursery at 3pm as usual, and we'll head out together from there.

Thanks and hope to see you there!

Good morning all,

Thanks everyone that came out to clean-up Long Beach last weekend. What a great effort and thanks to Helen for connecting us up with the "CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY!" campaign. 

Just a quick reminder for our work session today. We've got nursery work to do, and if there's interest, a walk along the town coastal track to inspect re-vegetation areas and identify weed spots!

Thanks very much.
