News & Updates

Good evening all,  I hope your week is going well.

We had some great work sessions in May, including helping Wombats SA at Cullen Reserve (thanks everyone that came out!), installing fencing to control vehicle damage in the dunes near Long Gully campground and re-vegetation in the same area (see pics below), as well as checking on ALL the Long Gully seedlings... they're doing great!

This Sunday, we'll meet at 3pm at the nursery as normal. If supplies arrive in time, we'll work on another vehicle fence project in the northern part of the park. Otherwise we'll head for a beach clean-up (after that big swell that came in this week!)

Special note on the Robe-to-Beachport walk idea. We are meeting this Saturday at Jill and John Davidsons house @ 2:30pm to discuss this project. Anyone who's interested in this, please let Jill or I know you're coming.

With many thanks and hope to see you this weekend!

Today we are back to Long Gully to complete our work there: we installed fencing to control vehicle damage in the dunes + did re-vegetation in the same area and checked on ALL the Long Gully seedlings... they're doing great! Another lil wombat came out to supervise the work ;)

Today we went back at Long Gully where we had a beach cleanup and we also started some fencing projects.

Good afternoon all,

Thanks to everyone who came out last weekend and helped with Wombats SA in the Cullen Reserve. I went out a couple times during the week with them and they really appreciated everyone coming to help. Such a special piece of wild space right in the middle of our community.

Quick reminder we're meeting tomorrow @ 3pm at the FOLD Nursery. We'll head out to Long Gully to get started on some fencing projects, continue with maintenance on park infrastructure & continue replacing seedlings that didn't make it through the dry season. And, if there's anyone keen we can do some beach clean-up as well... inspired by Josie and Graeme's recent West Beach clean-up action!!

Hope to see you there!

With many thanks. Roland

Good afternoon all. I hope your Saturday is going really well. Couple notes re: tomorrow and next weekend.

Working session tomorrow -  Peter with Wombats SA has let me know that they're working throughout the day tomorrow. He's invited us to meet at the Robe Holiday Park at 9am before heading over to the reserve next door for lots of fun work :) We'll work morning and afternoon.

Hope to see everyone there! If you want to join us for just a portion of the day, that's totally fine too. Check in with me on 0466072076 or Peter on 0417881658 when you are heading over, so we can let you know where we are.

Peter has also asked if a chainsaw or two (along with capable operators) are available. Let me know if that sounds like you!

Sunday, May 22nd -  For next weekend, we're planning to begin one of the fencing projects in the park with Cath. I'll send out more details on this next week. Stay tuned!

With many thanks.

Today our volunteers headed to Long Gully Campground where they checked in on seedlings and replaced those that didn't survive summer.  And look! A cute Wombat volunteer come out to help!  

Good afternoon all, just a couple quick notes:

Working session tomorrow - we'll meet at 3pm at the Nursery and head out to Long Gully Campground, we can check in on seedlings and replace any that didn't survive summer. There is also pruning and maintenance (staining timber, etc) to do around the info bay and toilet. Hope to see you there!

Sunday, May 15th -  as most of you know, the Wombats SA group is coming down from Adelaide May 13th-19th to work on weed control at Cullen Reserve. I've been in touch with them and discussed our group helping out on Sunday the 15th instead of our regular work session. When I have confirmation from Peter I will pass on the details. In the meantime, if you are interested in helping on other days, please reach out to Peter directly @  peter.clements@adelaide.edu.au

With many thanks.

Today we checked plants at Stoneys and Long Gully campgrounds. We were also able to replace plants and guards that have been lost.

Good evening all and hope you've had an awesome week!

Seed collection went well last week and we cleaned up Old Man Lake campground and Fresh Water Lake parking area. Visitor numbers are slowing down now so I'm excited for us to get into some bigger projects (fencing, walk planning, nursery, etc) over the next few months.

We'll meet as usual at the nursery tomorrow, 3pm. I'd like to give a quick update on ongoing projects and check-in with the group on priorities for the next couple months. 

Depending on the time available, weather and interest from the group we could also check in on areas where we have done planting over the last couple of years (like Stoneys and Long Gully campground) and replace plants and guards that have been lost.

Hope to see you there, with many thanks.
