Dear Editor
Last Sunday I did some planting on top of the hill behind the old Kodak
site in Coburg North with Friends of Edgars Creek. This is such an
enjoyable and positive thing to do, it is always great to be with so
many people who really care about their environment and making it better
for us and future people to enjoy. But this time it was really spoilt
as we had just finished planting and went to turn on the pump to push
water up to our buckets at the top of the hill so we could water the
plants and give them a good start to their new life in the ground - but
were shocked to discover that our pump had been stolen! Not an easy
thing to pick up and take away you would think
- but somehow it had gone! The group is totally reliant on volunteer
time and effort to do the physical work of planting and looking after
our sites and to obtain grant funding to purchase plants, and equipment,
so to replace the pump will not be a trivial thing. As well as the
really big inconvenience of losing our pump we are just gob smacked that
anyone would do such a thing - please, whoever took it, bring us our
pump back!
