Now postponed until Saturday 17 April.

A group of locals – the “Wellparkers” – had our first weeding bee in Wellpark Reserve’s Edgar’s Creek wetland just before Christmas. We made a good start but there is more weeding work to be done before we can start winter planting. With some extra hands we can help our native bush flourish without being overtaken by invasive species. Come along, meet some neighbours and support our little piece of Nature in the City!

Meet Wellpark Reserve, Wellpark Ave, near the bridge.

Bring secateurs, gloves and shoes you don’t mind getting wet
