Restoring landscapes across the Mount Alexander Region

Working bees tackle blackberries and gorse

Posted on 18 February, 2011 by Connecting Country

Inspired by the recent Landcare Weed Identification Workshop,  Chewton Bushlands Residents Association held a working bee for the removal of blackberries on GoldSpeck Gully Road /Rankins Road last Sunday. ‘The team of seven was soon working like clockwork and it was inspiring to see the huge bushes cut away from the road’ (Antoinette Birkenbeil).

Another working bee tackled gorse during the week at Kalimna Park. There are regular working bees in the Park and at present they take place fortnightly. If you would like to participate ring Geoff Hannon from Friends of Kalimna Park on 5472 5343.
