Bushcare Update

Innes Street Site Flourishing

The combination of sunshine and rain following last month’s planting has left the Innes Street site looking terrific. The first infestation of fishbone fern is virtually eradicated after just two sessions.

Next Working Bee: Saturday, May 16

Starting at 8:30 am, the focus shifts to the next section of bushland. This area contains scattered corky passion vine and a significant amount of asparagus fern. Some additional planting is also planned for the morning.

Newcomers to the island are encouraged to join the group; fresh faces are always welcome and appreciated.

Maintenance Updates

Bushcare HQ is currently coordinating with contractors to remove the bulk of the Singapore daisy. The goal is to have this completed prior to the June working bee to allow the group to focus on finer restoration tasks.
