July 2nd week

Photo op 

The east edge of the forest has lots of weeds if you run through the 50+ Tuckeroos. 
A general sweep across and just beyond our current west edge (ie both sides of the dirt track beyond our Bushcare sign) where there's Passionfruit, Morning Glory, some Coolatai and Cassia pods to be removed, but NOT Lantana at this stage.
If there's time & ingenuity we might also attempt more solid protection for the Banksia deer victims on the Stony Road. 

To anyone who's been involved in the green corridor campaign; be at the bridge in your finest Bushie gear for a Photo op.

 2025 More to do

More tree damage requiring Saws & Choppers, more deer damage repair (or at least a check of last week's victims), further weed work in Manifest Destiny. 

2024 Mustn't Grizzle about Drizzle

There are a couple of above water sites in mind where gumboots will only be optional.

• there's a big fallen over Banksia at the back of Steve's Beach with Blackberry, Lantana & Crofton to be sorted
• Over towards the SPATE fence is a Cape Ivy patch that needs getting before it flowers/seeds
• Morning Glory above Ditch needs to be traced and pulled or cut at the base of the trees its monstering
• the Mother of Millions at the firepit is worth another visit
• ...and don't forget Andrew's Amnesia !!

 

2023 Lagoon still overfull 

So apart from a few bits & pieces along the Cycleway there will be 3 main targets elsewhere:

• the weed smorgasbord that is Manifest Destiny
• finishing? off Andrew's Mistake
• Woodlands Creek edge; so Ted et Al can get maximum choppage.

We'll give watering a break.

Some members are off to the Port Kembla Dunes and Coomaditchie Lagoon for a mass planting morning as part of NAIDOC week.

2022 Area waterlogged

The eastern edge next to the beach should be navigable - treating morning glory and collecting plastic flotsam.  

Along the creek should be OK. Loppers can cut up the small branches on the fallen tree across the walking track - Council have been asked to deal with the heavy bits.

A minor construction job awaits to protect cedar plantings with star pickets and netting.
