Planting day
At this working bee we will continue planting and spreading mulch at the new site located to the north of the old aqueduct pipe bridge. The closest access point is via the laneway off Hamish Court, Greensborough. See map below if you are not yet familiar with the location.
We will also set up a propagation table where there will be the option of potting up some native seedlings to prepare them for future planting. This is a great activity for anyone who would like to learn more about plant propagation, and for people who would prefer not to be working on the slope which is quite steep in parts at this site.

Safety note: Please stay safe, wear appropriate PPE, look out for others, and work to your own ability and comfort. The main hazard at this site is the steep slope, so sturdy footwear is important. We always carry a first aid kit, and several members are trained in first aid.
