Welcome to the website of South Lawson Park Bushcare Group! See About for information about the bushcare group and forthcoming session details.

This month the work session was conducted in ER areas #2 and #4, east Waratah Street. Bushcare Group members welcomed Alison and Russell.

Along the main Lawson Creek tributary extensive Privet weeding was conducted. This allowed more sunlight to fall on existing Hakea salicifolia plantings. Callicoma serratifolia, Gahnia sieberiana and Hakea teretifolia were planted in ER areas #2 & #4. Check dams in the swamp tributary of Lawson Creek were strengthened. Bare soil was mulched. Privet seedlings were managed. Juncus microcephalus seeds were removed.
