Hi Everyone,
Tilligerry Habitat Reserve had a fabulous Open Day Working Bee last Sunday 29th March. Perfect weather although rain would nave been a treat! Fifteen keen workers who attacked and removed almost the last runner of buffalo near the nursery to the trailer, cooked Banksia seeds, set up the compost bin and potted about 100 Gahnia seeds into tubes.
Kate Washington MP Member for us and Minister for Community Services brought along a group and invited Council's tree officer and environmental programs officer. The council staff were very impressed and are saying this is their new model for environmental activities in Port Stephens; groups set up an event and council publicises and supports it.
The day finished with a sausage sizzle, coffee and chatter on the verandah. Thank you all!!!
Photos show bums in the air in the bright green buffalo and some of the workers at lunch.
