Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. There's some track fencing to fix up near the south end of Matches beach and we can do a beach & track cleanup at the same time. We'll meet at the FOLD nursery @ 3pm as usual, and head out together from there.

Thanks to everyone coming out in recent weeks, we've had some great planting sessions; a couple at Lake St. Clair (pictures from last week), along with several new reveg areas in the park.

Made some great progress with the dedicated crew today. Over a tray of tea tree seedlings planted, a couple sheoaks and some tidying up of prior years planting. Sun came out, no wind, beautiful.

Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. If the weather agrees, we'll head out to Lake St. Clair to plant a couple trays of Tea Tree & Sheoak seedlings, otherwise we'll get stuck into nursery work and perhaps a coffee around the corner! Meet at the FOLD nursery at 3pm as usual, and go from there.

With many thanks!

Started off with work at the nursery today, cleaning up an area where council used to keep the old main street wine-barrel planters, and weeding and combining seeding trays of Olearia axillaris (Coastal Rosemary), Myoporum Insulare (Boobiala) and Bursaria Spinosa (Christmas Bush).

Good evening all,

A quick reminder for our work session tomorrow afternoon. We've got some nursery work to do, and then will head out for either a beach clean-up (Long Beach plastic is terrible at the moment!) or reveg planting, depending on numbers and interests of the crew in attendance. Meet at the Nursery at 3pm as usual.  (For anyone keen to come early and get started on nursery work, I'm planning to be there around 2pm this week ).

Today we planted out two areas near the coastal track that have new vehicle fencing to protect vulternable cliff-top dunes. Great turn-out, great effort all! We planted Olearia axillaris (Coastal Rosemary), Myoporum Insulare (Boobiala) and Leucophyta brownii (Cushion Bush) propogated by FOLD volunteers from cuttings taken in the park about 8 months ago.

Good evening, I hope everyone is well.

A quick reminder for our work session tomorrow: We've got some planting to do near new track protection areas in the park. We'll meet at 3pm as usual at the FOLD nursery and head out together from there.

Beach cleanup at 3rd ramp and 2nd ramp: Lots of debrids from the sea scattered on the beach and mostly tangled with seaweed (ropes, bottles, 4 siringes, a tootbrus, gloves, pieces of plastic, tiny bits of plastic)

Good evening all,

Hope you are having a great weekend. Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. We'll meet at 3pm at the FOLD nursery and will either head out for beach clean-ups or reveg planting (or perhaps both if we have a turnout like we did last week!).

Hope to see you there.

With many thanks.

Today we had a great crew for tree planting at Lake St. Clair. We planted out a couple trays (200 trees) in a new area on the West side of the track, towards the lake. We've been planting Melaleuca lanceolata (Dryland Tea Tree) and Allocasuarina verticillata (Drooping Sheoak) trees @ Lake St. Clair for a number of years. It's a special lake, and habit for the threatened Swamp Antechinus.
