Aim for this Working Bee:

Following our successful planting bee last month, this month we're concentrating on woody weeds again as the boneseeds display their yellow flowers. We'll be aiming to get any accessible pittosporum, boneseed and other weeds adjacent to Surf Beach Road. If we have enough numbers we'll split up with some going into the area we've already partly cleared west of the Cape Paterson Life Saving Club.

Pete Muskens

We had eight volunteers to lend a hand in eradicating some pittosporum, polygala and boneseed (and a rogue pine tree) in the reserve adjacent to Surf Beach Road. With so few numbers there was no chance re-visit the area west of the 1st surf beach car park but we were able to clear some patches that had been left for some years. One of the photos show a freshly lopped boneseed stump with growth rings indication that it had been growing undisturbed for at least the past six years.
