Our 1st Working Bee on April 27th was aimed at helping to create a wildlife corridor between the river to the Banyule billabong through the south paddock at Banyule Flats.
Here is section of the wonderful participants from the working bee.
Thankyou to everyone who contributed to this fantastic project this morning. An extra special thankyou to Warwick, Sam, Elisa & Chris from the Banyule City Council for their wonderful planning, site preparation & ongoing support.
“The chosen species will produce abundant flowers with many producing nectar, a prized food of arboreal marsupials like gliders and possums and it is hoped these in turn will provide food for Powerful Owls who roost very nearby” Sam Keevers BCC Bush Crew ranger
A full description of the planting aims and the species chosen can be found on this document prepared by Sam. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L25HB_zgYSKnFQjw9SkdeGpvVPNFeiDC/view?usp=sharing
