Good evening all,

Thanks to everyone who came out last week, we had a windy beach clean up from West Beach to Matches and saw two pairs of Hooded Plovers along the way!

Tomorrow, we've got a small fencing project at the Gums, or, if we get rained out, we have seedling trays to plant at the nursery. Meet at 3pm as usual at the FOLD nursery.

For next week's (November 6th) work session, we've got a special meet-up planned at the Davidson's property, and then a beach clean-up at Third Ramp. Everyone is invited to come to the Davidson property (SW block @ the third ramp turnoff) around 2pm to hang out and check out the amazing revegetation efforts underway. Then we'll head down the street to the beach for a clean-up around 3pm. I'll send out another reminder about this during the week.

With many thanks!

It was windy and the cold has returned .... but there is FOLD... and what a wonderful incentive to get out of the house, walk these beautiful beaches and laugh a little.  

It warms the inside with pleasure being together, keeping our beaches clean, breathing in the fresh sea air, fill our senses with the power of nature which we can enjoy in its vivid colors, crashing sounds and majestic wild views.

And we saw Hooded Plovers.

Exhilarating.

A special thanks to John and Malcom, two of our most dedicated regular volunteers, that always show up with a smile, a passionate love for the beauty of this nature and are such fun to be around! 

Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our work session this afternoon, we're meeting as usual - 3PM at the FOLD nursery. We have weeding projects, beach clean-ups and a pruning walk at Freshwater Lake as options!

The last couple weeks we've made good progress on planting and maintenance at the nursery. And we're on track to have a great number of seedlings for revegetation efforts next year.

Thanks and hope to see you this afternoon!

Today we stayed at the Nursery and planted lots of cuttings in the trays!

A huge thank you to Helen, pictured next to Rinaldo below, who besides coming to our regular Sunday meetings, has also volunteered to write a monthly newsletter for FOLD! Thank you Helen, you are awesome!

Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our weekly work session tomorrow. We've got a couple activities to choose from: polygala weeding, planting out diversifolia seedlings, or work at the nursery planting trays of collected seeds.

Last week we had a great turn-out for the beach clean-up, attaching a couple pictures, and thanks to everyone that came out!

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

Thanks.

A wonderfu, warm, sunny day to be in the back beaches to clean up and savor the beautiful approaching spring!

Beach clean-up today! Thanks to Andrew the hero of the day :) for untangling all that rope which would have disintegrated into microplastic

Good evening all,

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather! A quick update on our work session tomorrow. We've made good progress on planting seedlings out the last couple weeks (thanks everyone who has come out to help with that), so tomorrow we've got two options:

1 - beach clean up at a little beach north of Little Dip track. This is a hooded plover nesting beach and there has been a lot of plastic washed up recently. It would be nice to carefully clean that before the nesting gets going this year.

or 

2 - checking on Polygala weed patch at the Woakwine Conservation Park.  We've been out there weeding before, and Cath has noticed some coming back, so it would be great to hit this again soon.

We can decide tomorrow with whoever is able to make it. 3pm at the FOLD nursery - hope to see you all there!

With many thanks.

Weeding & planting seedlings at the nursery today!

Good evening all,

Just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. There's work weeding / planting seedlings at the nursery, and/or beach clean-ups if anyone is keen.

We'll meet at 3pm at the nursery and go from there.

Thanks and hope to see you tomorrow!

Also, we have a fun signage project coming up @ Freshwater Lake, with Kangaroo Inn Area School, more info on that soon.
