South Gippsland Landcare and the Council are inviting community members to get their hands dirty on Monday 27 April, with two working bee sessions along the Great Southern Rail Trail.
The sessions focus on maintaining the 'Firewise' demonstration sites along the trail, with the added bonus of an informal chat with the Shire Biodiversity Team about how local volunteers can work together on sections of the trail close to them.
Weed control along the full 130 kilometres of the trail is an ongoing challenge, and volunteer groups play a vital role in keeping it in good shape. This is a great chance to contribute to a wonderful community asset while connecting with like-minded locals.
The Meeniyan session runs from 10am to noon, meeting at the Meeniyan Community Garden, and is followed by a free lunch. The Loch session follows from 1pm to 3pm, meeting at the northern end of the Highway pedestrian underpass near the skatepark.
BYO gardening gloves. To confirm your attendance contact Kirby at kirby@sgln.net.au or 0480 749 731.
