Morning tea after a solid morning of planting at the IFF site 26 June 2022

Preparation for planting in 2 weeks – IFF site 12 June 2022

At the Moonlight Creek Working Bee on Sunday 24 April – this fellow popped down to our feet to collect a witchetty grub that had been unearthed. Now it’s waiting for another grub to appear.

We are creating patches at Moonlight Creek – this is a different approach to planting. We will not be staking every plant separately. Some of these patches are quite large and are intended to replace phalaris with Kangaroo and Wallaby grasses and other lower storey plants. Moonlight Creek Working Bee 24 April 2022.

Working Bee Sunday 25th Sept 2022 at 9:30 AM - complete planting at Moonlight Creek
This coming Sunday, 25 Sep at 9.30 am, we return to the National Tree Day site on Moonlight Creek. We have about 300 remaining plants to go into the fenced-off plots, and there is some tidy-up to do, plus (as always) some weed control.
Access is from Happy Valley Road; access point E2 on the map on our website. https://castlemainelandcare.org.au/where-we-work/. It will likely be very muddy so park on Happy Valley Road unless bringing heavy stuff.
As per usual practice - don't come if you have any COVID symptoms, maintain social distance, wear stout footwear and gloves, plus sun-protection.
Bring your own cup and drinking water. Hopefully we will have a careful morning tea.
