Open Day Report


We had 30 visitors attend the day. It was supported by Group members Robin Holdsworth, Greg Evans, Annelise Rogerson and myself. Speakers were, Robin Holdsworth , Wayne Bennett of Forest Flora Nursery, Gerard Kelly HCC Community Planting Co-ordinator and Tim Newton HCC Gully Restoration Officer. Thanks for all their help and support to get the day organised.
The weather held off and the gully was sheltered from the strong wind.
We now have 29 email addresses registered to receive the newsletters plus another 21 representing support organisations. We thank all those people for their interest, and understand that not all will want to be actively involved and that is fine.
Over the next few weeks we will spend a bit of time getting things together and forming different interest groups. A communiqué will come out inviting those that wish to become more involved in these groups. In the mean time don’t be shy. If you are really keen or have good organisational skills get in touch and we can have a chat about your skills on offer.
Wayne Bennett listed 18 different native flora species as he was walking around the gully. I have listed these on a new page “Existing Flora”. This page will be built on as information is gathered.
