Good evening all, just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow.

We've made some good progress on beach and track cleanups, track fence repairs and reveg in the Matches beach area, and we should be able to finish up with the track fence repairs tomorrow. We'll meet up at 3pm at the FOLD nursery as usual, and then leave from there together.

Thanks to everyone who came out in the last couple weeks!

This week we continued on from last weeks work behind Matches beach. We got some foredune reveg in and finished the clean-up of the southern half of Matches. Great crew and great work!

Good evening all, just a quick reminder for our work session tomorrow. 

Depending on interests and numbers in attendance; we've got reveg near the coastal track, track fence repairs and beach clean-ups to get busy with! We'll meet at the FOLD nursery at 3pm as usual, and head out from there together.

With many thanks and hope to see you tomorrow.

Great small crew out today, and welcome back Cath! We fixed up some dune protection posts and cable, and did a southern portion beach clean-up, lots of plastic on the beach at the moment but we made a good dent! 

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.

With many thanks and hope to see you tomorrow!

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). Then, we split into two work crews: Long Beach (between 2nd and 3rd ramp) has lots of plastic trash form recent big swells, so Tony, Lesley, Rinaldo, Massimo and Roland headed there for a beach clean-up, and Malcolm and Hillary headed out to do some reveg planting at a coastal track site near Long Gully and a couple trees near the new sign at Freshwater Lake. Couple pics of the clean-up crew below.

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 ).

Last weekend reveg went great, attaching a photo (thanks for sending Mark!) of the crew planting seedlings just off the coastal track.

Thanks all and hope to see you tomorrow.

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.
