Kaweka Wildflower Sanctuary – AGM – call for new members!

Posted on 9 March, 2023 by Lori

Kaweka Wildflower Sanctuary is a beautiful ‘hidden gem’ in Castlemaine. People often confuse Kaweka with Kalimna, but they are two different places!

The welcoming entrance to the reserve is visible from the intersection of Hargreaves and Turner Streets. The 8ha stunning wildflower reserve was given to the people of the district over fifty years ago and has been lovingly looked after by locals ever since.

On Wednesday March 15 the Kaweka committee is having its Triennial AGM at 5.00pm. Would you like to join this congenial group of nature-lovers? They are a small group, definitely in need of new members in order to remain active.

They have irregular seasonal working bees and occasional meetings. The meetings are enjoyable and quick, and the working bees are for weeding, planting, watering and other general maintenance. They especially try to keep the plant identification signs up to date.

The committee is in danger of having to go into recess/hibernation – they need new people! They need you! It is a great opportunity to get involved in restoring our natural environment, learning from experienced members and gain group management skills, all while having fun!

The meeting will be at the main entrance next to the beautiful big rock. Please feel free to come along, even if just curious to meet the group.
