Activity: Planting to link Habitat
Description:
During the next few months we need to plant over 4,000 tubestock along upper Campbells Creek and Lower Forest Creek as part of the Forest Creek Revitalisation project. We’re linking this with similar habitat upstream which the North Central CMA and Castlemaine Landcare are establishing, and downstream with our PlatyPatch project.
Today we’ll plant over 20 species along parts of Forest Creek and Campbells Creek, Castlemaine upstream of the Camp Crescent footbridge, to extend and strengthen communities of key habitat, threatened and endangered species. All of these are important for improving water quality, diversifying habitat, and building sustainable wildlife corridors.
Meet: here near the walking/cycle trail footbridge and Bush Kinder area. Car parking is available nearby in Camp Crescent.
When: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Sunday the 28th of June.
Wear: gardening/leather gloves, hat, sturdy footwear and clothing suitable for the weather. If you wish to work along the water’s edge we suggest you bring gumboots.
Please bring: Your own drinking water, and a friend if you like. We’ll provide the rest.
We’ll finish up with light refreshments.
We hope to see you there.
This project is funded by the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust under the Urban Rivers and Catchments Program, with support of the North Central Catchment Management Authority.
