Blue Mountains and South Lawson Park Bushcare have now resumed. November was a little damp, and the session was cancelled.

However, the bushcare group members and officer did have a a very productive site tour with BMCC natural area managers on Wednesday 17/11/2021. Issues discussed included the Lawson Creek riparian zone and its development, management of the Lawson Creek swamp, seed collection, appropriate plant species selection for planting, remediation of degrading impacts on Lawson Creek and lots more.
