September 2023

On Sunday 17/09/2023 the Bushcare Group worked in the new regeneration area, Lawson Parklands. Juncus microcephalus in drain lines was weeded. The site was surveyed for natural regeneration, and it was pleasing to record that quite a large amount of naturally distributed indigenous plant seed has germinated, and the resultant seedlings are maturing.

Streamwatch results were good: oxygen, phosphates, turbidity, chemical balance and water freshness. Happy water bugs!
