Planting days, June 14 & 21 and July 19

home_help_out_10

Since the formation of the Park in 1975, annual planting has greatly extended the original areas of native bush.  Steeper gully areas have been fenced off and the current planting plan aims to fill gradually these, this year focusing on areas between Pink Beach and the Campground.

Public planting days for 2105 are as above, with an extra day on 6th June organised by the Chinese community.  Please feel free to come on this day if you cannot make the others.  We also need help on each Friday prior to the planting days to help lay the plants out on site.
Planting is from 10am to 1pm, and followed by a free BBQ.  Follow signs at park entrance to planting site.  Dress for the weather and wear suitable closed boots.  Gloves and spades are provided but feel free to bring your own.

    Banish boneseed

    ByPeter Jackson

    This month’s pest plant is boneseed, also known as salt bush. Originally brought in as an ornamental from South Africa, it proved to be a pest (surprise!) because it readily colonises dry areas and soon prevents anything else from growing. This poses a threat to our coastal vegetation. Young plants have soft pale green leaves,…
