Working Bees

We have one last opportunity in 2020 to work together on improving our Creekside environment.  We will be holding a working bee on Sunday 6 December, continuing the work done at the November event.  Come along and help us protect the germinating wattles that we sowed back in July. In November we located a number […]

We have had excellent results with our sowing on the Coliban Water section of Honeycomb Bushland Reserve. However, grazing & trampling by kangaroos is severe, so we need to protect […]
