Friday 6/4/12 – Spent several hours with brother Keith dividing and replanting sedges and flaxes on the Dingle’s wetland area.¬† In the afternoon released plants from the kikuyu on Sir Duncan McMullin’s property.
Saturday 7/4/12 РGlorious weather for our 2nd working bee of the year and a great turn-out which was extremely heartening.  Thanks to all our volunteers Jo Evans, John Haigh, Rupert Harrison, Keith Paine, Alistair and Margaret Scott, Neil Sutherland, Richard Taylor,  Troy and Kristin,  Pete Watkinson and Anita Erikson (the official photographer).  Further progress was made.  Tradescantia was rolled, weed mat positioned and about 50 eco-sourced wetland plants  planted.  The plan is to place as much tradesantia as possible in large black polythene bags.
In the afternoon Keith and I headed down to the valley again to split up and replant some more sedges.
Sunday 8/4/12 – Another beautiful day.¬† Spent more time spot spraying and weeding on Sir Duncan McMullin’s property in preparation for the next Trees for Survival volunteer day.¬† The afternoon was spent carrying out further weeding on our property.¬† Chris plans to re-build the steps which were destroyed in the last major slips.
Monday 9/4/12 – Further weeding and spraying on Sir Duncan McMullin’s property.¬† While the progress report might sound a bit repetitive, the photographs show we are winning the war on weeds.
