Super Saturday Session Success -By Winsome Lambkin

It went that way...local nest box installers
Lake Macquarie Landcare Network and Coal Point’s ‘Threatened Species Last Stand’ combined to present a range of activities. 

Dr Chris McLean presented information about Squirrel Gliders and the group went on to install nestboxes throughout the local community both on private and public land. 

We were given instructions on the removal of Fishbone ferns which need the complete plant removed and Asparagus ferns where just the crown needs to be removed as well as any berries.  

Lunch at Progress Hall
A heavy downpour sent us scurrying inside where Ann Loughran conducted a weed verses native plant identification session. 

Throughout the day, Barbara and her catering team kept up a supply of delicious food and drink which allowed for some great interaction between the 25+ attendees. 

Thanks to Suzanne Pritchard, Project Manager for the Coal Point Bioblitz for inviting us participate in an informative day.
