Today we did more planting at the FOLD nursery focusing on coastal species like Olearia axillaris (coastal rosemary) and Leucophyta brownii (cushion bush).  Thank you Roland, Tony and Trent!

Good evening all.

Just a quick reminder for our regular Sunday work session tomorrow, and a couple more updates below. 

Sunday work session: We'll continue on with more planting at the FOLD nursery tomorrow. We'll be focusing on coastal species like Olearia axillaris (coastal rosemary) and Leucophyta brownii (cushion bush). Getting started as usual at 3pm.

Good evening all,

Hope your weekend is going well.  We've got a couple activity options for tomorrow: 

For our regular work session, we're planning to do a short beach clean-up at the northern end of the park and should be done around 4pm. Meeting at the FOLD nursery at 3pm as usual for this one.

Good afternoon everyone.

For our weekly work session tomorrow we'll be pruning / trimming along the Freshwater Lake walking trail. We'll meet at the FOLD nursery at 3pm as usual, and head out together from there.

Also, we're looking for a couple volunteers to help Tuesday & Wednesday this week with polygala survey and control in/near the park. This is part of our weed control project alongside the Burrandies Indigenous crew and the DEW. Please let me know if you're interested in helping either/both of these days!

Great crew, sunny day.... and a huge trash haul from the beach north of Long Gully. Great work all!

Had a great afternoon with the crew from Wombats SA @ Cullen Reserve. We pulled polygala which has been a problem in the reserve for some time. Not everyone's favorite activity, but very satisfying to pile up a big pile and see your progress! I didn't get a picture of the polygala... but here's one of a beatiful green hooded orchid we came across in the reserve.

The crew from Wombats SA is down here in Robe this week working on the weeds @ Cullen Reserve. FOLD members have helped out on similar occasions over the years, and they would be very happy to have any assistance tomorrow or Wednesday if anyone is keen! Please let me know if you'd like to help out either day (I'll be heading over there tomorrow after lunch for at least a couple hours.)

Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. We've got a beach clean-up planned - north of Long Gully (on a beach we haven't been to for a while). We'll meet at the FOLD nursery at 3pm, as usual, and head out together from there.

Bring a hat, a water bottle and a friend!

Thanks very much and hope to see you there. Roland
