Our local Friends of Park Orchards Reserves Group (FOPOR) have been very lucky today, hosting a fantastic group of Box Hill Tafe students, currently studying for a diploma of conservation and land management. Organised and supported by Manningham Council, their teacher and FOPOR, they spent all morning pulling invasive w**ds at the revegetation site along Berringa Road, and learning about w**d identification and local indigenous plants growing in our nature reserve. It was an absolute delight meeting these bright students, determined to make a difference. The future looks good!
