First trees planted in the Koala Corridor on World Rivers Day

On Sunday 30th September, 81 trees including six different koala food species were planted in the Koala Corridor.Thanks to everyone who came along to lend a hand.

Arriving in the corridor - this area will soon be fenced off

A family affair


A momentous occassion! The wire is cut between two neighbouring koala corridor properties to join up the corridor. Notice the new fence on the other side.

Planting on the second property. Each tree was marked with a bamboo stick and mulched with some cardboard
We also planted blackbean seeds within the riparian zone




Out of this first batch of 150 koala trees, we still have to plant another 19 trees for the second corridor property and 50 trees for the third corridor property. Fingers crossed for some rain so that we can plant these trees and also to give a boost to the trees we planted next year.

At our GMA meeting we also proposed at date for our community event as part of the koala corridor - we are calling it Love Mary day which will take place on 16 February 2013. More detail to come. If you'd like to help us organise the event, please let us know!
