A busy work session at South Lawson Park bushcare! Work continued on the Waratah St east section of the ecological restoration project. Consolidation of the good bush continued, with Privet seedlings and other riff-raff being removed.

Further work was done on lopping mature Privets. This work is paying benefits, as indigenous plants are being uncovered and provided with better growing conditions, particularly sunnier conditions.

The check-dams set up in the swamp have successfully managed sediments, following the heavy rains (400mm) of early July.
