This month the Bushcare Group worked on the Lawson Parklands site. Natural regeneration continues to be strong, although recent dryness may have resulted in loss of some plants. Approximately 50 mm of rain has fallen in the last two weeks, and the site is now moist again.

Fleabane, Juncus microcephalus and African Lovegrass were the weeds targeted on the Parklands site.

Leptopsermum polygalifolium and Leptospermum juniperinum (approx. 12) were planted in two access path drain lines.

Along Lawson Creek a 20m x 20m zone of weeds (bird droppings) was treated: Arum lily, Ginger lily, Cordyline australis, Privet.

Streamwatch was conducted in adjacent Lawson Creek. Oxygen, phosphorous, water freshness, chemical balance and turbidity were all good.
