Ivy under attack at Thomsons Bush.

The Friends of Thomsons Bush group have a regular Wednesday morning working bee taking on the job of removing ivy. They meet at the playground at 10am and head off with their sacks and fadges for a couple of hours of work. Over the last couple of months they have made good headway, however there’s still plenty to do. Thanks go to ICC Parks Division for the disposal of the fadges of ivy to ensure they are no threat to anywhere else. The group are looking forward to attacking other weeds once they have their Agreement with ICC in place. If you would like to join them, check out their Facebook page for further details at Friends of Thomsons Bush.

Once this log was cleared of the ivy, it revealed the presence of the leather leaf fern, Pyrrosia serpens.
The ivy is pulled and gathered in sacks.
