February 2nd week
Flanagans if Not Rained Off
Most work tomorrow will be along the north bank of the creek & onto the first section of back beach: Morning Glory, Fennel, Bidens & rubbish.
There's some cleaning up of rubbish within the three coupes & some weeding of our planted area in the northern one.
2025 Weed of the week
Ehrharta erecta (or Panic Veldt-grass) is along the track on the creekside of Hewitts Creek and is too widespread to target complete removal. Just bag large specimens (in full seed) and any of the grass that is competing with native plants.
Flowering Cassias at Woodlands Ck can be removed & then its to the back of the Blady Grass for a weed salad or over to Manifest Destiny for attack on various regrowths.

2024 Lilies
All hands (with secateurs) to the lily field! Flowers, Buds, Spent blooms all into the bag. If time allows I'll equip a few poisoners to follow up with a low cut & paint on the stems. Where the stem is easily accessible at ground level diggers can go to work but we can leave that till later weeks.
2023 Rain
Due to rain, operations will be restricted to higher ground with Lily digging, Morning Glory pulling and
Bidens the main targets.
Late summer priorities are obvious, but do the job that most appeals to you.
2022 Worklist
It has never been easier to learn to weed a Bushcare Site....the Morning Glory, Lilies, Montbretia, Fleabane & Turkey Rhubarb are all advertising themselves and awaiting our reflex response.
Alert
This red-bellied black snake was not in our area but close to our southern boundary near Tramway creek. There was another, the same size, less than a hundred meters to the east. The one photographed was adjacent to one of our member's backyard.
