Hi Korumburra Community!!
As many of you know the Olsen's Walk area of the Korumburra Botanic Park has become overrun with w**ds and requires ongoing community involvement.
We need to hand w**d some areas to prepare for more shrubs and grasses to be planted this winter.
So, we need your help!
Therefore, we will be holding a w**ding session on: -
Saturday 1st August 10.00 – 12.00.
Meet at the bottom car park near the Rotunda.
Please also bring your gardening gloves, secateurs, trowel & eye protection.
There will be multiple tasks to suit you from light to a bit heavier so please come along if you can if only for 1 hour.
We will also get the toilet key from the Caravan Park (if the toilets are locked) and will have a sign-in register for completion.
Weather forecast is sunny and an afternoon top of 13C.
Please come along and show your love for this precious local resource.
Thank you!

Hi Korumburra Community!!
As many of you know the Olsen's Walk area of the Korumburra Botanic Park has become overrun with w**ds and requires ongoing community involvement.
Our Landcare Grant plantings are complete. We need to visit our plantings to remove any w**ds which will affect their growth until they are big enough to slow down the w**ds. A lot of our plants have already taken off so w**ding around them will be quite rewarding! So, we need your help!
Therefore, we will be holding a w**ding session on: -
Saturday 18th Jul 10.00 – 12.00.
Meet at the bottom car park near the Rotunda.
Please also bring your gardening gloves, secateurs, trowel & eye protection.
There will be multiple tasks to suit you from light to a bit heavier so please come along if you can if only for 1 hour.
