ANBG Weeding Work Party

It is great to see how the trees and other plants have been recovering after the big hail-storm in January. The steady rain that we have had since has helped, too. One Frogwatch site was dry and is now 1.2m deep, another was less than 30cm deep and is now 1.7m deep. Similar changes for our other Frogwatch sites. We are looking forward to the spring walks and surveys.

The weeds have loved the rain, too. Our wonderful weeders are very keen and looking forward to the … Next weeding work party … Which is planned for:

Date: Saturday, 6 June 2020, 9.00am to 12:00noon

We shall focus on the small remaining area of woodland in the south west corner of the Black Mountain Nature Reserve.

Meet: Caswell Drive entry on the mountain side.
Drive from Belconnen Way southwards along Caswell Drive towards Glenloch Interchange, Woden, or Tuggeranong. Note the yellow diamond shape advisory sign showing access road on left (mountain side) and the blue and white “P” sign for parking. Pull into the carpark carefully. Look for banners.

Bring: Everyone is welcome. On this occasion, please,
bring your own morning coffee or tea and snacks.
bring your own tools if you have them, e.g. secateurs, small digging tool, lopper, and/or pruning saw.

Wear: hat, sunscreen, long-sleeved shirt, long pants, gloves, stout shoes.

We shall break for morning tea at about 10:30am
