A most successful working bee was held on the western side of Pearl Beach Lagoon on Saturday 4 September followed by a morning tea at Geoff and Nancy Miller’s, hosted by Ann Parsons. Roger Murray and his two daughters injected enthusiasm and energy into the weeding. Recognising our joint work with Dunecare, Faye Austin joined us for the morning and the group photo which will feature in the next Pearl Beach Bushcare Management Plan. Lynda Morrison and I later inspected Maslin site to discuss future possible approaches to lantana eradication.

The October working bee will be held on the 9th at the northern end of Coral Crescent, moved from our normal first Saturday by reason of the long weekend. We are making this a joint ‘bee’ with Dunecare. We plan to tackle some remedial weeding in the dune area adjacent to the path to the Beach. A morning tea will be hosted by Daphne Bayliss at 11:00 am.

The last Bushcare working bee will be held on Saturday 6th November at Green Point followed by the annual pizza event at his home. Thank you Bill!

There will also be a Bushcare Christmas Barbeque run by Council (time and date to be advised).
