Caterpillar in great numbers attacking Cape broom near Ti Tree Road in late June!

Many thanks to all who came for the weed-up at Andrew & Justin's yesterday. We attacked the hillside in a flanking manoeuvre with vast numbers of Broom falling before our pulling might - and we were attacking up hill. Imagine the dent we'll be able to make should fortune favour us with the NVC SEB grant. Herewith some pictures taken by Tim of interesting fungi found in the liberated territory and a 5th column caterpillar found merrily munching its way through Broom leaves. Tim is trying to identify it lest we be able to enlist it as a biological weapon in future campaigns...

Grant Meeting a Great Meeting

A short note to say a big thanks to Anthony, Danielle and Tony for making time to come and talk to us about grants and share some hot food and room temperature wine (thanks Ant!) at the Claredon Inn last Thursday. A robust discussion was had and the group is looking forward to the possibility of some focussed long-term funding under the new Native Vegetation Council SEB Grant scheme. Lots of work ahead to make the deadline and we're all looking forward to a celebratory second dinner in due course!

Rescheduled Weeding Day

Due to the cancellation of Andrew & Justin's weeding day on Sunday May 30th due to inclement weather (hey at least it was raining!) this coming Sunday's event will be rescheduled. Google calendar will be updated shortly and hopefully not send multiple emails like the last time. Paul & Sugina's weeding day will be slotted in later in the festivities.
