News & Updates

Wet and windy weather for our beach clean-up today. But a keen crew and got the job done. Came across a dead penguin on Evans Cave beach. A rare sighting, but it's important to know they're around. Way back to the surf-bus we walked along the coastal track. Not much trash on the track this time of year, and a little protection from the wind.

Good morning to everyone on this lovely day!

Just a quick note on our work session today. If the weather takes a turn for the better, I was planning to head out to the northern end of Little Dip for beach & track clean-up, check on two areas where we installed poly track fencing, and to look at Matches beach dune degradation.

If the weather doesn't agree, we'll head to Mahalias for a coffee and chat on the community outreach efforts that Angie and Helen have been working on in recent months.

Meet at the FOLD nursery at 3pm as usual.

Thanks.

What a day! And how beautiful is Old Man Lake?!

This is one of those days we love best here at FOLD.  We are planting trees in a clear crisp winter day, among this beautiful bush in rich colours brought by the sunrays. Sunny, a nice group of volunteers, and we are planting tree seedlings!

We planted 2 trays of tree seedling!

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

In addition to our regular Sunday work session, we are helping with a weed management session at Cullen reserve next Tuesday, details on both below:

Sunday - Regular FOLD meet-up: This weekend during our regular work session, we'll be planting out seedlings at Old Man Lake campground. Meet at 3pm Sunday at the FOLD nursery and we'll head out together from there.

Tuesday - Weed management @ Cullen Reserve: A large student group from Unity College will be helping with weed management at the Cullen Reserve. We'll be providing equipment and all FOLD members are invited to come along to help! We'll meet around 11:30am at Robe Holiday Park (stay left past the solar panels). and work together for a couple hours. Please let me know if you're planning to come along!

Thanks very much,

Roland

Good afternoon all,
I hope the long weekend is going well for everyone.
Just a quick reminder for our weekly work session tomorrow. We'll either be planting seedlings or doing a beach clean-up (it's been a while!), depending on weather and interests of the crew in attendance.

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

Thanks to everyone that came out last week, it was a nice project complete with another tray of reveg planted out before the rain as well!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. We're planning to work on track fencing near Stoney Rise campground and reveg planting to go along with it!

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

Thanks very much and hope to see you tomorrow!

Good morning all,

Just a quick reminder for our regular work session this afternoon. We've got a couple options this afternoon, including a beach/track clean-up at the northern end of the park, or maintenance over at the Gums.

We had a great time last weekend, planting out the first seedlings for this year! Thanks Cath for bringing along the very tasty teas and cakes on your day off!

We'll meet as usual at 3pm at the FOLD nursery, and head out from there.

Thanks.

Roland

Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. We've got some reveg planting and maintenance to do at the Gums campground, and if we have extra time we can do a little track cleanup as well!

The reveg areas at Long Gully are doing great, it was very encouraging last week to see the growth of the seedlings we've planted over the last couple years, with very little lost.

I'll be at the FOLD nursery around 2pm to do a little tidy up and some seedling weeding, and there's a rumor cake and tea will arrive before we head out to work in the park around 3pm (at our regular time.).

With many thanks and hope to see you tomorrow!

Good morning all, and lots of love and appreciation to all the mothers in our community on this beautiful Mother's day!

Just a quick reminder for our work session this afternoon. We're going to head over to Long Gully to do some maintenance on tree guards, etc at the two reveg sites there. Meeting at 3pm at the FOLD nursery, as usual.

Hope to see you there!

With many thanks. Roland

Good morning all,

Hope your weekend is going well. Just a quick reminder for our weekly work session this afternoon. We've got some nursery work to do and then if we've got a good crew (and reasonable weather!) track clean-up and the first planting out of the season around the newly fixed-up Gums campground spots.

Hope to see you there, meet @ 3pm at the FOLD nursery, as usual.

Thanks. Roland
