Good evening, I hope you're all well.
Just a quick reminder for our regular Sunday work session tomorrow. We'll meet at 3pm at the FOLD nursery as usual. We have seed trays to plant and beach clean-up to continue!
Threatened Hooded Plovers nest regularly on West Beach! How many did know that? They nest as well on some of our back beaches and on Long beach. Since West Beach is also hazardous to drive on, does not have a through access, and is a favorite walking destination for many locals, by blocking vehicle access here we give these little birds a better change to survive.
Good evening, I hope you're all well.
Just a quick reminder for our regular Sunday work session tomorrow.
One of the most favorite activities for many of our volunteers is to go out and plant trees! How spectacular to then watch them flourish! Today we headed to Lake Sinclair and planted tee trees and sheoaks' seedlings which we had planted in trays the previous year.
Good evening all, I hope your weekend is going well so far.
Just a quick reminder for our regular Sunday work session tomorrow.
We'll meet at 3pm at the FOLD nursery and, weather permitting, we can head over to the revegetation site at Lake St Clair to plant (and replace) seedlings. If we get rained out, we can continue planting collected seeds at the nursery instead.
We had a great nursery work session last week, over 1000 pots planted with collected seeds! Thanks to all who came out :)
With many thanks and hope to see you tomorrow.

What a day at the nursery! Such a lovely group of passionate volunteers have work hard today preparing the trays and planting seeds we had previously collected. Lots has been accomplished today and we all went home feeling good about the day!
Good afternoon all,
Just a quick reminder for our regular Sunday work session tomorrow. We'll meet at 3pm at the FOLD nursery and have a couple options for work: we'll get started planting collected seed at the nursery, and if anyone is interested in a more active afternoon we can continue with beach clean-ups (working south from Stoneys to Back Beach).
Thanks very much and hope to see you there!

Today was a good day to cleanup the nursery & prepare the trays for planting seeds
Good morning all, hope your long weekend is going well.
Thanks to everyone that came out last weekend, a little rain and wind couldn't stop our beach clean up (from the end of West Beach to Stoneys!). (pics attached)
Today we'll meet at 3pm at the nursery and then head over to the revegetation site at Lake Sinclair to continue planting (and replacing) seedlings.
Next Sunday we've got another fence building project scheduled, more on that during the week.
With many thanks and hope to see you today or next week!

Tumbs up to this unstoppable 10 year old who has been coming to volunteer for FOLD most Sundays! Good job, Rinaldo! Keep up the good work, boyo!
Today we picked up trash and mini plastic bits from the end of West Beach to Stoneys.
