9 October – Metcalfe Landcare Planting Day
Posted on 23 September, 2011 by Connecting Country
Metcalfe Landcare’s next planting day will focus on indigenous understorey shrubs underneath mature eucalypts along the banks of the Coliban River. Plants will go straight into the ground with no staking, guarding or jute matting.
When: Sunday 9 October 2011
Time: 10.00am onwards
Where: Enter site from Red Gum Bridge over the Coliban River, Kyneton-Metcalfe Rd, in the middle of the township of Metcalfe. Look for the flags to guide you.
Wear: Suitable clothes, gloves and sturdy boots. Gum boots might be useful if we need to bucket water from the river.
BBQ lunch served on site.
Deb from Metcalfe Landcare writes that this will be a great day for families as the planting sites are all fully fenced with stiles for getting in and out. The group would LOVE to see everyone helping out on the day. The weather is expected to be sensational and the setting is beautiful at the moment.
