Dumping today, gone tomorrow

From this...

To this...

Thanks to John from Team Dingo for removing the wreck and scrap metal fencing material dumped by some delightful people down the old quarry road (and in the bush itself!) on Mt Mag. This area can now be sealed off and allowed to regenerate. A general cleanup followed and the remaining rubbish, tyres etc will be gone shortly. The access road was then blocked by recycling some pine posts (also dumped) and setting them across the entrance ways and down the track itself. All this added to the last working bee where some Watsonia, Gorse (the only infestation on the property) and Soursobs were poisoned will see this area transformed over the next few seasons.

Grant Application Successful!

Today we received news from the Native Vegetation Council that the SEB grant application for funding over the next three years has been successful and that $191,500 has been offered to the Prospect Hill Bushland Group. The Agreement will be reviewed by the group over the next two weeks and a response forwarded to the NVC. This is great news and a resounding slap on the back for all the hard work by private landowners committed to improving and preserving the biodiversity of their local natural environment.

In particular the Prospect Hill Bushland Group would like to thank Anthony our tireless Bush Management Advisor from the Department of Environment & Heritage, Tony from the Goolwa to Wellington Local Action Planning Association and Danielle C for their resolute support and work on behalf of the group.

The Prospect Hill Bushland Group is in business!
