Working Bees

Annual Clean Up Australia.

Dead Head those Agapanthus! This month we'll be focussing on cutting the flower heads of agapanthus around the town. Agapanthus are a highly invasive weed spread by wind and birds. The intention is to get to the flower / seed heads before the seeds become viable. Where possible, we'll also encourage residents to reduce / remove agapanthus and encourage native wildlife friendly plants instead. Volunteers will be provided with a BBQ lunch at the Wonthaggi Life Saving Club at 12:30pm.

For the October working bee we will be tending the Cassia Street Reserve, removing weed regrowth and reinstating some of the bush tracks.

Mop up of Sea Spurge between F Break and Wilsons Road, and possibly beyond depending on numbers. It should be noted here that this coastal reserve is administered and controlled by Parks Vic as park of the Yallock Bulluk Coastal Park.
