Weed busting by 20 bushcare volunteers
- Created on Monday, 13 February 2012
What a wonderful effort by 20 volunteers who turned out to Richard Murden Reserve on Sunday morning for the first working bee for 2012.
The volunteers, with GreenWay Biodiversity Officer Adam Ward, worked on the northern end of the site to pull out more than 12 bags of weeds that have popped up after the recent rain. The main weed busting was targeted to Bidens pilosa, blackberry night shade, Ehrharta erecta and Dandelion taraxacum.
A special welcome to all our new volunteers and welcome back to our regulars. Happy birthday to Chantelle who brought lots of friends along for a birthday bushcare session!
