TICKS: ticks are known within the project area. Ed No.112, (1.1MB) March 2012, of AABR News (Australian Association of Bush Regenerators) covers issues such as Lyme disease, and working safely in tick prone areas, and is recommended reading.
AIMS: Control weeds; Conserve biodiversity; Prevent further loss of wetland habitat and preserve habitat values; Protect remnant native vegetation, and if possible replace weeded openings with suitable indigenous native plants; Interpret the site; Emphasize the natural character and visual attributes of the area; Enhance remnant bushland and native fauna habitats and corridors.
An informal working group conducts works, generally each third Saturday morning of the month from 9am to noon - but check the Calendar page or email us at: exec@hwcv.org.au for schedule changes. The group meets at the southern end of Winimma Lane and/or along the beach access path behind the caravan park tennis court. All welcome. Please wear safe footwear, and bring gloves.
