Working Bee at IFF Site - Sundays 28 May, 11 June and 25 June 2023 at 9:30am. We hope to plant at the Indigenous Food and Fibre (IFF) area on 25 June and we need to get ready for it. So three working bees in a row at that spot - 28 May, 11 June and 25 June. The first two bees will be preparation, and then we hope to plant lots of shrubs, grasses, sedges, some saltbush, lilies and daisies and some overstorey (trees etc.) on 25 June. There are still plenty of weeds, within and around the plots where we planted, and we will be planting mainly in those plots to keep building up local species. We will also brush-cut as far as we can. You obviously don't need to commit for all three working bees, but your support by attending one or two would be very much appreciated. Park carefully along Happy Valley Rd (near the bottom of Verlin St) and walk 100 m along the track. Use entrance E4 on our website
