Thank you to all our volunteers who came to help today!
We made some amazing progress in both w**ding and planting. We helped protect our rainforest slope by w**ding the edge at the bottom of it, keeping it safe from w**d invasion. We also put in around 100 plants, to help establish native forest in one of our toughest spots! This spot has poor soil, is underneath several large trees, and has been a difficult one to plant in before.
This time, we put in some fast-growing and (hopefully) bombproof natives, including Acacia melanoxylon (Blackwood), Trema tomentosa (Poison Peach), Hibiscus heterophyllus (Native Rosella), Lomandra longifolia (Spiny-Leaved Mat Rush), Solanum aviculare (Kangaroo Apple) and Glochidion ferdinandi (Cheese Tree). These will provide a quick native canopy, stopping w**ds from re-emerging and allowing for further plantings.
Thanks again everyone for your help, hope to see you at the next working bee!
