Our AGM will be held on Wednesday (22 May) at 7.30 pm at the Castlemaine Community House in Templeton St.
The speaker is Peter Rose from the North Central Catchment Management Authority, an expert in native fish.
The Good Op Shop is a great supporter of Landcare and is celebrating its second birthday on Saturday 10 June from 10am. Our Landcare group, plus other community organisations, will have a little stall there, and we will have a few plants to give away. So come along to 4 Lewis Drive, Castlemaine and see what’s going on.
This year will include (again) heaps of activity. Our main areas will be the IFF site )for Year 3 of the Landscape Partnership Program using Council Funds and Moonlight Creek, where we have a DELWP Victorian Landcare Grant to replace Phalaris with grasses and other weeds with food-and-shelter habitat on both our public land and parallel sections of adjoining private land – we will be working with our two neighbouring landholders and with our partners DELWP, Dja Dja Wurrung and Mount Alexander Shire Council to build a bio-link between Forest Creek and the upper parts of Moonlight Creek.
We have scheduled two working bees a month throughout the year, knowing that no-one can come to all of them. So take note of the ones that might suit you, and pop them in your diaries. Obviously we will put out a notice for each closer to the time and tell you if the plan changes.
Working bee dates (all on Sundays):
Jan 30; Feb 13, 27; Mar 13, 27; Apr 10, 24; May 8, 22; Jun 12, 26; Jul 10, 24, 31; Aug 14, 28; Sep 11, 25; Oct 9, 23; Nov, 13, 27; Dec 11
