News & Updates

Today at the Nursery we care for the seedlings and worked on the timber frames for the signs that will go up by the lakes. 

Great job Rinaldo, John and Roland on these amazing frames for the signs! They look magnificent, and sturdy!

Good morning all,

I hope your long weekend is going well so far! Thanks for everyone coming out the last couple weeks, we did a clean-up of the Lake Eliza track and planted another 8 seedling trays with bursaria spinosa, olearia axillaris, and Myoporum insulare (for planting out next year!)

Just a quick reminder for our meet-up this afternoon. We'll meet, as usual, at 3pm at the FOLD nursery and head out to Long Gully to check on both reveg sites there. We can also do a tidy up of the campground and the track (to the second reveg site).

Next week, we'll install the new ecosystem signs at Freshwater and Old Man lakes. We've got some work to do on the timber frames first, which I'll be starting today around 2pm at the nursery, anyone interested in helping with this is welcome to come by.

Also, we have been invited to set-up a booth at the Robe Primary School Easter Fete. I know that is a particularly busy weekend for many people, but it would be great to have FOLD, our parks & conservation areas, and coastal areas represented. If you are available that weekend and interested in helping organize this, please let me know!

Thanks very much.

Nursery: collected seeds into trays

Good afternoon, hope everyone's weekend is going very well.

Just a quick reminder about our work session this afternoon. We'll meet at the FOLD nursery at 3pm as usual, and are planning to plant collected seeds into trays (considering the rain shows may last through the afternoon!)

Hope to see you there.

Thanks very much.

Maintenance @ the Lake Eliza trail

Good morning all,

I hope your weekend is going well. Nice to have a little rain in the last couple days for anyone with a garden!

Just a quick reminder for our work session this afternoon. We didn't get to the Lake Eliza walk clean-up last weekend, so we're planning to do that today. We'll meet at the nursery at 3pm as usual, and head out together.

Hope to see you there!

With many thanks.

Today we are working at Long Beach, by First Ramp

Good morning all, hope your weekend is going well.

We had a great turn-out last weekend for the nursery work session, thanks everyone for coming!

Today we'll either do a clean-up and potential reveg project exploration at Long Beach or a maintenance stroll down the Lake Eliza trail... or both if the group wants to split up!

Hope to see you there, 3pm at the FOLD nursery.

With many thanks.

What a wonderful crowd of FOLD volunteers today! Lots was accomplished at the nursery with so many helping hands.  

Good morning all,

Just a quick reminder for our regular meet-up this afternoon, 3pm at the FOLD nursery. 

We have some work to do weeding / taking care of seedlings and if time allows we'll start planning the installation of some amazing signs to go up at Freshwater and Robe Lakes. The signs are a result of a collaboration with Kangaroo Inn area school and I'm attaching the image below!

We've also got some nice canvas bags from SA Friends of Parks to hand out, celebrating 40 years running for the Friends of Parks program.

Hope to see you this afternoon!
