This Autumn we are excited to be moving along to Lake Hayes rowing club to plant the area of reserve adjacent to the access road here. The area has been cleared of pest trees by QLDC in the past year and is being fenced and cleared of rabbits in preparation for planting in May. We have a lovely collection of 1200 native plants in the nursery ready to go, which are going to add to the restoration efforts in this area.
The hard work of digging holes will already be done and the job on the day will be to get native plants into their forever homes. Look out for the green flag and you will find us just to the right of the rowing club road.
As is tradition, we will have a yummy morning tea part way through the morning provided by the chefs at the Hilton hotel and we'll enjoy a BBQ lunch at the rowing club to celebrate the end of Autumn planting.
