February working bee
Sunday Feb 12 at the Goat Track site
From 9:00am
Join the AURG, UNE Landcare and FMS as we tackle woody weeds on the creek. This is part of the second stage of the creek regeneration where we’ll be putting finishing touches on the area to the west of the Goat Track, and moving east where work is desperately needed.
Bring gloves, secateurs (if you have them), water, hat, and a gold coin for lunch from the Lions Club

2012
2011 saw UNE Landcare back in action on campus. After a five year lull, work has resumed to regenerate the bush and riparian lands at UNE.
Some highlights:
630 new seedlings planted along Dumaresq Ck
over 5 ha of bush regeneration
two plant identification work shops
one really big truck getting bogged
None of this would have been possible without the support of UNE Facilities Management Services and the HiCUB Project, and of course, the volunteers.
2012 is set to be bigger and better, with the launch of the second stage of regeneration works in Dumaresq Ck. Working with UNE FMS and the Armidale Urban Rivercare Group we are going to move east from the Goat Track Bridge, cleaning up tonnes of woody weeds and planting a mix of local natives guaranteed to bring some wildlife back to the creek.
We need your help though, because the more people we have, the faster this work gets done and the sooner we all get to enjoy our efforts.
Contact ellen@snelcc.org.au to get involved today.
