News & Updates

Today is our second day to complete our scheduled revegetation project at Lake St. Clair: melaleuca lanceolata and sheok (allocasuarina verticillata) seedlings.

Good afternoon all,

Hope you've had a great week. Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. Malcolm and Hillary did some work taking care of the reveg site at Long Gully last weekend, so I think we should head back to Lake St. Clair to get as many seedlings planted out before we run out of rain!

We'll meet up at the FOLD nursery at 3pm and leave from there. And there's work to do at the nursery, in case anyone would prefer to stay in town.

Thanks very much and hope to see you tomorrow.

Good evening all, hope your weekend is going well so far.

With the possible weather tomorrow afternoon, and a number of our group involved in the very cool event at the institute, let's postpone tomorrow's Long Gully session to next week.

Anyone that is absolutely set on being outside - working in the dirt, let me know and we can coordinate an ad-hoc work group!

With many thanks.

Today with planted our own year-old seedlings at Lake St. Clair: melaleuca lanceolata and sheok (allocasuarina verticillata) seedlings.

Good evening, I hope everyone is well.

Just a quick reminder for our work session on Sunday. We'll meet at the FOLD Nursery at 3pm and head out to Lake St. Clair to continue planting at the tea tree (melaleuca lanceolata) reveg area there. Based on direction from Cath we'll also plant some of the sheok (allocasuarina verticillata) seedlings we still have in the north-east portion of the park.

The following weekend, we're planning a work session at the Long Gully campground. The reveg plantings there could use some attention, and there is some park infrastructure maintenance I hope we can complete.

Hope to see you there! With many thanks.

Beach clean-up today! A big shout-out to these two regular teen volunteers, Andrew and Massimo, that with their infinite energy have carried the heaviest of debrids we found on these beautiful back beaches.

Hi all.
Just a quick reminder for our weekly work session this afternoon at 3pm. The weather looks like it should be nice, so thinking we can continue with a beach cleanup - working our way south.

I've also got a couple project ideas to chat about at the nursery before we head out.

With many thanks and hope to see you all there!

Good evening all.

Just a quick reminder for our weekly work session tomorrow. We'll meet at 3pm at the nursery, and depending on weather and interests of those present, we can do another beach cleanup, plant out at a reveg site, or plant seed trays at the nursery.

Thanks to everyone who came last sunday, a great turnout and a very successful back beach cleanup.

Hope to see you tomorrow! With many thanks.

What a fun day today at FOLD! We welcomed Emma, our new local ranger, by meeting up earlier at the Adventurous Spoon. We then met the rest of the volunteers, as usual by the nursery at 3 pm, and headed out to Back Beach for a cleanup. We had such a good turnout today (14 people + 2 rangers) that we divided into two groups thus covering lots of ground.

Today we did some revegetion work in the dunes west of Long Gully campground and some maintenance items at the campground itself.
