Friends of Aranda Bushland Work Party

There are two main tasks: either weeding in the grassland, or cutting and dabbing the encroaching prickly tea tree nearby.

Our legendary morning tea will be served at 10:00 am!

On the first Sunday of every month we have a work party, either in the Snow Gums or in the Aranda bushland. Activities vary according to the time of year.

In spring and summer, our energies are concentrated on weeding – St John’s Wort, Paterson’s Curse, wild mustard, African Capeweed and others need to be controlled so that the native grassland species have the space to grow. In autumn we switch to the planting of native grasses and similar low-growing species. Winter is the time for repairing the walking tracks and controlling erosion in the gully.

Meet: 8:30 am at the stile on Old Caswell Drive, as indicated by the arrow on the map.

Wear/Bring: Wear strong shoes and bring water, a hat and gloves. Tools will be available, but bring your own if you like.

Newcomers always welcome.
