Friends of Edgars Creek

Hi FoEC'ers and Friends,

In what has been a year of being somewhat disorganised, FoEC has managed to get ourselves organised and we have a planting activity happening this Sunday to end the season of planting before we step into some maintenance activities from October (and if you've had a walk around recently you'll have noticed we have a few sites to clean up and do some guard reclaiming) ... more on that come October and our maintenance plans.

For now, we fire up the augers, get the pump pumping (and perhaps we'll do that again in a few weeks after the planting depending on what our forecast dry, hot spring delivers) and we'll plant for the last time in 2023.

The usual drill, officially we go from 1-3PM though are always on-site a bit earlier to get set up. Please let us know if earlier is better for you and we can be in contact to let you know when we get on site.

The site is on the west bank near the new footbridge from Ronald Street. Predominantly we will be planting grasses, though a few shrubs and trees are also in the mix.

We have all the tools you'll need though if you have something in the tool realm you want to bring, go for it.

It is forecast to be a warm day - 25 degrees; so we'll all appreciate the shade coming from the Manna gums at this site! 

Hat, sunscreen and lots of water are a must; lots of water, please. You'll also need to supply your own food needs.

Looking forward to seeing you on the creek!

Regards,

David.
