Friends Of Sturt River Landcare Group Inc.
The wildlife corridor has been established over the past decade, largely by volunteers. We aim to improve it by removing invasive weeds; adding a broader range of local native plant species; adding species that we know support lizards, skinks, native bees, butterflies, dragon flies, birds, possums, bats and mammals. Please note: Volunteer numbers for this event are capped at 40 and plant numbers are also limited to only 400. This is a working bee. Due to climate change, we had to shift our large, public planting day - Tree Day @ Marion - to earlier in the planting season on June 4 World Environment Day. (All previous volunteers were directly notified of this change via email.) Don't be disappointed though, community working bees are a great time to slow down, get to know your plants and chat with your neighbours and other volunteers. :) We hope to hear from you soon!

DIRECTIONS
Join us for a community working bee at Oaklands Wetland and Reserve to mark National Tree Day. Volunteers will begin the working bee by clearing a section of the wildlife corridor of weed species and then replacing the invasive species with 400 local-native trees, ground covers, grasses and shrubs.
