Fellow Land Carers,

    

    Now that the days are getting longer...

 

    With thanks to Lisa of Tansport Canberra and City Services (TCCS) we have had a load of mulch delivered just up from the experimental NTG grass plot. And Robyn and her patrol partner from the local TCCS depot have arranged to have the dumped loose concrete taken from the car park.

 

    Some more grasses have been found to put into the NTG plot and the ones already planted seem to be faring well - thanks to the rain and in spite of the cold!

 

    Miles Franklin Primary School students attended last Monday - walking around the wetlands infrastructure - and it was a pleasure to be able to show them the two sentry-still Tawny Frogmouths which have just returned!

 

    School holidays have meant that young people take the opportunity to visit the wetlands area which is just what we want. Unfortunately, some figure that visiting on motor bikes or motorised push bikes is ok and their speed - and noise - is a danger to walkers and other bike path users.  Please let them know that their transport is illegal and unwelcome if you can, but don't be surprised if, despite their non-nature ways, they give you a 'bird' or similar! If enough people call them out the message may get through!

 

    Given the prevalence of Cockies we might put nets over the tulips etc this weekend. And we can continue with the sucker removal which is making quite an impression between the second wetland pond and the creek.
