Help with Weeding at Bushy Point February 2024

7 – 28 February 2024

Otatara Landcare Group is organising tree releasing sessions at Bushy Point each Wednesday in February, starting 7 February, and possibly extending into March, from 6.30-7.30pm, weather permitting.

Meet at the Bryson Rd entrance to Bushy Point (or walk along to the lookout and you’ll find us).

Please bring: shoes or gumboots suitable for working in long grass and lupins; gardening gloves; clothing suitable for the expected weather conditions; a face mask if you are allergic to dust or grass seeds; safety (or other) glasses to protect eyes when weeding amid tall grass stalks; secateurs and/or a small pruning saw if possible for working in the lupins; optionally, a pair of sharp garden shears suitable for cutting grass.

Feel free to join the working bee at any stage, and only stay for as long as you can.

Please contact Douglas Black on 022 104 8661 for more information if required.
