Thanks to Heritage Bank for their sponsorship of this project. We’d also like to thank the small team of volunteers who took time out of their day to help with the shed installation. The group recently received support from Heritage Bank by receipt of a shade shed to house Landcare equipment which is hired out to Landcare members. This has made it much more convenient for people collecting and returning the equipment to the caretaker. The shade shed which is positioned in Pinelands, was delivered in kit form and was assembled by members of the Emu Creek Catchment Landcare Group. The member volunteers assisted over 3 days to erect the shed.
