Field+Days

July 18th 2009

Planting is now completed after another couple of hours spent yesterday with the other 40 plants in the ground at the second shack site on Bay Road. Bagging and staking of the remaining plants (about 15) needs to be completed, when stakes are available.

Here we are at work on an amazingly beautiful, sunny winter's day!!



July 11th 2009.

We met at Pelican Place, off Bay Road and planted from 9.30 am to 12.30pm on the Bay road reveg. site.A highly successful day was had with the 2 Margarets, Jo, Frederika and David. We managed to plant 100 trees, including correas (alba pink and white), sedges, dolly bushes, she-oaks (allocasuarina paludosa and littoralis) and native hop bushes (goodenia ovata). Here are some shots. Adjourned to Margaret's for lunch of fantastic home made soup, fabulous fruit cake, cheese and biscuits, tea & coffee over a meeting. Thanks Margaret for your hospitality :-) We set the AGM for 10 am Saturday August 8th at Dunalley Neighbourhood House.



National Whale Day June 6 2009

It was cold and windy but worthwhile.



Summer Field Days have involved removing the weed Sea Spurge from Marion Bay and environs. Here we are meeting in the car park at Marion Bay Beach in February 2009.

Seaspurge Local Area Team (SPLAT) and Remote Area Team (SPRAT) members joined Marion Bay Coastcare members at Marion Bay Beach before heading north to Bluff Beach.

Here's where we spent the day. Thanks to Dave Newman for these exquisite shots of our fabulous environment.
