Regenerators April working bee Sunday 3 April 2016

The Red Hill Regenerators invite you to our third working bee of 2016 on Sunday 3 April 2016

When we were at our March working bee, we noticed large numbers of woody weeds further down the slope towards the top of Brereton Street, in the ‘weedy triangle’ between Brereton Street, the golf club and the golf club access road.

So our April working bee will be based at the Brereton Street cul de sac, to enable us to work both north east along the lower slopes of the hill on small blackberry outbreaks, briar rose and the usual woody weeds. It will be especially important to cut and dab any deciduous woody weeds this month before they start to drop their leaves
