WELL it was wonderful to see a handful of keen residents from the Parkland Estate rock up for the last BushCare activity on June 22.
While we had a fascinating guided tour of the southern end of Mahaca Park (which is part of the Dawn Road Reserve) with Amanda from the parks section of the new Moreton Bay Regional Council, we soon realised that we have a long-term challenge ahead of us to get on top of some pesky weeds that have invaded the bushland to the east of FCD.
So the call's going out to more residents to join the effort. The work's not hard, the equipment's provided for us and we get plenty of guidance and instruction from people who really know their stuff.
If you're interested, come to the south-eastern end of FCD at 8am on Sunday (see below for recommended clothing). An added bonus is that you can learn about what common plants can in fact be weeds in our neck of the woods. (Sigh, I think our Jacaranda will be going soon, to be replaced by a less-invasive species!)
And this week's rains will mean any weed-pulling will be significantly easier!!
See you there.
