Baigup Wetlands Interest Group

Baigup Wetlands Interest Group Baigup Wetlands Interest Group is a community group dedicated to the care and restoration of Baigup; part of Bush Forever Site No. 313.

Baigup Wetland Interest Group began as a virtual community network of people who care about our remnant environment. Since 2012, our aim is to see Baigup Wetland protected and preserved into the future as a valuable natural resource for wildlife, for the health of the Swan River, and for human recreation, wellbeing and education. Our major objective is to encourage community interest in Baigup by

building awareness of its history, natural assets, and challenges through a program of community activities and education. An electronic newsletter is issued four times a year. Weeding days are held several times a year to support the work of City of Bayswater’s Department of Sustainable Environment and members work closely with the City on matters such as habitat preservation for birds, damage to infrastructure, changes in water regimes, algal blooms, new w**d infestations, etc. We also liaise with other government and non government agencies responsible for protecting, restoring and preserving Baigup Wetland.

Thank you SERCUL for joining us this morning. Your information about the impacts of nutrients entering waterways, the demonstration of different soils and the types of plants that grow in different Perth soil profiles, as well as the fascinating insight into Perth frogs 🐸 was a great addition to a wonderful morning of wetlands discovery. 😊🙏Thanks very much for coming with all your knowledge and interesting displays.

Water bottles left behind at the Wetlands Community Discovery morning. Do you know Hugo SP and / or a FEVER fan. Currently your water bottles are on the picnic table near the playground. We thought that might be the best option in case you realised and returned to look for them.

It was good company and a nice sense of achievement at our last Monday morning w**ding session. Here Jill shows our solidly packed little pile of w**ds: they won't be flowering and setting seed this Spring! Luke, meanwhile, was battling through nearby jungle, wrestling recalcitrant pepper trees and pulling up myriads of pesky little pepper tree seedlings.

You are welcome to join us 8.30-9.30 on Monday 3rd August. We will be w**ding on top of the hill just inside the Kelvin Street entrance to Baigup Wetlands in Maylands. Long thick sleeves or gauntlet gloves could be handy if you have them. Some of the w**ds are growing among prickly bushes. Other w**ds are more accessible out in the open. See you there!

Today (Sunday July 26) most of our group worked near the Kelvin Street entrance to hand w**d around recently planted areas. We hope this will give the native plants a good opportunity to grow without competition.

A small group headed into a difficult to access area and continued the difficult work to remove Morning Glory vines as well as some pepper trees.

The Monday morning w**ding group will be working at 8:30am-9:30am near the 'dogleg' along the back track on Monday 27th July. Strictly one hour only and tackling invasive pepper trees.

Thanks everyone for looking after Baigup Wetlands.
