Wild About Lane Cove was a HUGE hit yesterday!

We had perfect weather ☀️☀️, 300+ people , and a very popular sausage sizzle 🌭! And the reptile man brought lizards, snakes and even a crocodile and taught us all about these amazing creatures. 🐍🦎🐊

Thank you to Lane Cove Council and the volunteers from Stringybark Creek Residents Association for making it possible!

Our Wilson’s Creek Bushcare Group has been busy re-generating the Batten Reserve on the creek line down from the access pathway off Elizabeth Pde, near where it intersects with Epping Rd and backing onto 11-17 Johnston Crescent.

Today’s Clean Up Australia Day event was a big success! Thank you everyone who volunteered their time.

Despite initial gloomy weather, Stringybark Creek Residents Association was joined by 77 people aged 4 to 85, including our fantastic local scouts and girl guides. Good to see our mayor Councillor Merri Southwood, East Ward - Lane Cove Council and west ward councillors Councillor Rochelle Flood Councillor Katie Little - Lane Cove getting involved. We ❤️ the community spirit!!

25 bags of rubbish and 4 bags of recycling were collected, along with a tyre, a bin and even a gazebo! In good news though, we saw a HUGE reduction in plastic bags and takeaway coffee cups from previous years.
