Sunday was Tree Day.
Landcare attended our Bushland reserve, at Pisces Close, to plant three trees, for both Tree Day and also to honour one of Kangarilla Landcare Group's former members. It also included a beautiful log bench which has been placed in the Bushland reserve and is dedicated to Sue Duigan. She was an environmental 'warrior'.
Her family members attended, as well as many others, including our local Mayor, Moira Were. Her family were able to plant the three trees.

Here are some photos from a very special day.

The forest floor is coming alive!
A sign that Spring is not far away.
Do yourself a favour and take a walk in your nearest native forest and check out the beauty from the ground up.
Native orchids, Greenwood’s, Helmet, Gnat and Mosquito orchids cover the ground with so many more species to come.
It’s going to be a good one.
Enjoy.

Kangarilla Landcare Group wish to thank Kangarilla and Clarendon General stores and all their patrons for supporting our Native Plant Sale. Getting native plants in the ground is very important to us as a group. These plants support our native critters mammals, birds reptiles and insects. Their role is vital to a healthy eco system.
We will have more plants available for purchase nearer to Spring.
Thank you again for supporting our precious nature.

An update from Trees for Life -

Uncertainty affects us all and, during challenging times, reconnecting through positive action can be especially powerful. Spending time outdoors, immersed in nature and alongside others who care, supports our wellbeing and helps us feel more connected to the places close to home.

Great news! ❤️👏

A colony of South Australia's last remaining bandicoot species is bouncing back just 6 kilometres from Adelaide amid hopes they can be connected with other populations.

An endangered southern brown bandicoot was first spotted in Brownhill Creek Recreation Park about six years ago, prompting Conservation Volunteers Australia to erect cameras to count them.

That resulted in the construction of a grazing enclosure led by the Friends of Brownhill Creek, inside which blackberry bushes and weeds were removed and native plants allowed to grow without being grazed by kangaroos and feral deer.
