Landcare Update

The Landcare lads and ladies have started the year off with adventures at Burnage, Threlkeld and Carey Bay Wetland Reserves.

Landcaring is an active pastime and if you’d like to get a bit of bending and stretching into your day, then landcaring can provide a good upper and lower body workout whilst doing great things for the local bushland. 

On Wednesday 29th February, Asparagus fern which is becoming problematic at Gurranba will be given a Green Team blitz. If you want to see how the experts deal with this local nuisance pop down for a visit. 

Gurranba is a great reserve, it was the site of the first landcaring project on Coal Point, it has spectacular views of the lake and is the designated leash free area…what more could you ask for?
 
Ongoing work at the Carey Bay Wetlands has required the ‘cooking’ of weeds onsite by wrapping them in black plastic. Whilst this may look temporarily unattractive it is proving a cost effective management technique.
 
Threlkeld Reserve has also received some extra attention lately with the ongoing mulching of the track.
