Hi all,
Byron Shire Chemical Free Landcare next working bee will be on Saturday, the 11th of August, from 9 am to 1 pm, at Brunswick Heads Crown Land Reserve site. Meet at the end of South Beach Road fire track gate, not far from the Surf Club. Please wear boots, long sleeve shirt and long pants, a hat, gloves and bring water, and some morning tea. Tools and first aid kit will be provided.
The task will be to remove the last of the large Bitou bush south of the horse access track. We would have had this completed before the end of June but somebody (?) sprayed some of it, leaving a large central core of live bitou! This illustrates some of the failures of chemical techniques.
We have some easy seedlings to do as well.
Enter the fire trial gate, walk along (300 m) until you get to the second gate. Turn left and you will see us on the right side, towards the beach.
Looking forward to seeing you there
Ellen
