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!

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. 

Today a group of volunteers collected, sorted and stored bursaria spinosa seeds and another little group cleaned-up Old-Man lake campground  and Freshwater lake carpark. A good day's work!

Bursaria spinosa is commonly known as Christmas Bush. Here is some more information:

Good evening all,
I hope everyone’s week is going very well.

For this Sunday's work session, we’ve got seed collection tasks and I’ve been wanting to get out to Long Gully to do a clean-up. Let's meet at the nursery at 3pm and, depending on the interests of those present, we can split into groups or pick a focus and all go out together!

Hope to see you there. Bring hats, water and friends :)

With many thanks. Roland

Good morning all,

Thanks to everyone that came to the nursery planning meeting last weekend. We made some good progress organizing our approach and priorities.

Just a quick reminder that we’re not meeting up today! I’m working to get Sunday sessions organized a little more in advance, so look forward to a note early in the week mapping out the next month or so.

Good evening all,
Thanks to everyone who came out last Sunday, and thanks to the Men’s Shed for providing the meeting space! We had a great initial discussion regarding a Robe-to-Beachport walking trail and started to pull together a strategy to evaluate the idea and whether it is something we would support as a group. Please send me an email if you're keen to participate in this, and keep an eye out for future updates / meet-ups.

Today we walked and picked up trash from Stonies to West Beach. We also indentified middens and John shared some of his knowledge about middens with us.

Good evening all,
Thanks to everyone who came out last Sunday. The Gums campground and track had a clean-up, we made a big dent in the polygala weed control project nearby, collected some Bursaria Spinosa seed and finished off the day replacing the broken post out at Stoney Rise point.

8 volunteers today headed out with ranger Cath Bell to the Gums campground for weeding polygala,  clean-up of campground area and track and replace 2 broken posts.

See below some pictures of the invasive weed polygala. Polygala invades and competes in coastal vegetation.
