Hello Fellow Creek Carers and Planters,
It has been a while since we have had a community planting day, care of COVID-19, but we now have one coming up on Wednesday 26th of May from 10 am – 12 noon at the Rocky Outcrop at Coburg Lake.
This planting is being organised in conjunction with the Merri Creek Wednesday Volunteers, Moreland Council and Merri Creek Management Committee. We will be infill planting into a site we have been working on for over 4 years. If you are free and would like to join us, please meet at 10:00 am at the Rocky Outcrop on the northern side of Coburg Lake, between the public toilets and the De Chene Playground (flying fox park) or large person sculpture.
If coming by car, park on De Chene Pde, Coburg North and walk down towards the steps that lead you down to the creek and lake. If coming by bike, the bike path on this side of the lake runs up alongside to the rocky outcrop and planting site. See map https://goo.gl/maps/tFW72saJoCKebR2Y6
Please also see COVID Event Checklist Wed VOLs 26th May 21 (attached) and BYO gloves to be Covid safe. All other tools and plants will be provided.
And for those of you that would really love to do some planting but can’t make this day, we will have another planting coming up at Coburg High School on Sunday 6th of June from 10.30 am – 12.30 pm. Plus, if you are super keen, you can always join me and a small band of others of a Sunday morning, or adopt a specific site that you love or visit often to look after. If either of the latter ideas resonate with you, let me know.
Take care and hope to see you on Wednesday 16th of May at 10 am.
Warm regards,
Emma
