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.

Good morning all,
I hope this very-windy-weekend is going well for everyone so far!

I wanted to send a big thank you to everyone who came to the AGM meeting last Sunday. It was a great turn-out and it was very encouraging to review what we've done over the last year together, and spend some time discussing how we move forward into this year's work.

Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our admin meeting tomorrow. We'll run through our AGM items first, and then have a regular meeting. I'm attaching the updated agenda here.

Meeting is 3pm upstairs at the Caledonian Inn - Thanks Holly!

Appreciate you all and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

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.

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.
