Local Ladcaring

There continues to be regular landcaring action along the Coal Point peninsula with recent working bees happening along the Ridge-West, off Whitelock Street. The bushland in this area is in great condition with little weed and a true reminder of how beautiful our local bushland is and what a great asset we have in our communal backyard.

Another recent achievement was the weed removal and planting of a new area at Yural reserve, thanks to Hunter Water's Landcare Assistance Fund. A team of volunteers from the Landcare Office helped the locals to achieve a great outcome for increasing biodiversity. There is still mulch to move so if you feel like a little exercise moving mulch from the mulch pile on to the new garden bed in the reserve feel free to lend a hand. BYO mulch moving materials.
Landcare happens each week, usually on a Thursday under the coordination of Robyn. Each month the LRO Green Team volunteers lend additional hands. These days provide opportunities to learn a little more and meet some new landcarers. Each month there is a focus reserve for activities.
