Winter Greetings

The absence of the Chronicle has been a consequence of the flurry of activity being generated by the Threatened Species project.

On-ground works in the public reserves have been occurring regularly and the local Landcare team has been receiving additional support every Thursday.

The Stansfield Close reserves have been receiving some additional attention to support the preparation for the Asset Protection Burn, mooted for Autumn but hopefully some time soon.

A site tour of the public land and the private properties that had expressed interest in the project was also undertaken.

In order to maximise the available bush regeneration budget work will focus around neighbourly nodes of interest. In the next Chronicle expressions of interest will be sought for further inclusion of private land in the project.

Private landholders may be able to gain bushland benefits in sharing the cost of additional bush regeneration days, being part of a mass nest box installation or party to a bulk order plant purchase to expand the habitat of your bushland.

National Tree Day at Carey Bay Wetlands will be a chance to catch up and discuss any interest you may have in the project.

Other Progress happenings:

  • Progress Committee meetings are on the second Monday of the month
  • Membership renewals will still be graciously received by the Treasurer.
  • A members only social event is being planned for Spring.
  • More walkers are required for the distribution of the Chronicle. If you would like to walk for an hour once a month please let Barbara know.
  • Is there a local business interested in restricting possum access to the roof space of Progress Hall? Contact Tony for details.
