Looking after a diverse and challenging strip of woodland with healthy stands of Angophora costata and Bloodwoods. We’re working in three main zones. In one we aim to repair and revegetate an open grassland by collecting and sowing seed. In another zone we’ll be repairing a natural drainage line across the steep site. And in the third we are regenerating fairly healthy open woodland, by working out from the good bush to the bad.

The group was formed only in April 2016, so we welcome new members and ideas.
