who knew that pulling weeds could be so much fun?! We had an awesome morning pulling out vine weeds from along the creek bank, the first step to restoring this section of the park. Thanks so much to everyone that came along!
And thanks to Logan City Council for funding this work through Envirogrants 🌱

something a bit different today - looking at the health of Melaleuca irbyana that were planted 6 years ago - we took measurements and had to match each tree with it’s mapped location which was a bit challenging! Everyone did an amazing job, we’ll share any interesting results soon!
