Regenerators working bee Sunday 4 September 216

The Red Hill Regenerators invite you to our next working bee of 2016 on Sunday 4 September 2016

We were fortunate that a recent visit by the Green Army resulted in removal of a significant quantity of Cootamundra wattle seedlings in the nature reserve close to Deakin. This was followed up last month by our working bee, which resulted in many more seedlings being removed. The aim of our working bee this month is to complete this task in the area between Red Hill Drive and Buxton Street. Being in flower, they will be easy to spot.
