Friends of Cleland Conservation Park

Our aims for National Tree Day are to continue the good work already undertaken over the past 3-4 years to regenerate areas adjoining the Winter Track. We will have around 150 seedlings to plant and also continue weeding around plants we have planted over the past 3-4 years (halo weeding) and other weeds in the area that threaten to overwhelm the native plants. This is a great opportunity to help regenerate these areas.

DIRECTIONS

We will meet at the entrance/gate to the Winter Track which is located on the Waterfall Gully Road (here is a google maps link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Winter+Track,+Cleland+SA+5152/@-34.9593919,138.6740241,16.93z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x6ab0cc865de2f305:0x22e98bca69449163!8m2!3d-34.9590227!4d138.6817796!16s%2Fg%2F1ptw23x29?entry=ttu ). Friends of Cleland volunteers will be at the gate and guide you to car parking 100 meters or so up the track. The planting site is about a 15-20 minute walk along the fire track from the parking area. It is a slightly uphill walk but not too steep. Once everyone has arrived at the planting site members of the Friends of Cleland National Park will be there to provide a briefing and distribute appropriate tools etc before undertaking the planting of native trees, shrubs and grasses in nearby areas.
