Some pictures of the working bee held by GMA members on Sunday 7th July to clear the debris from one of the landholders riparian fence which had been damaged and covered with lots of sticks, grass and other rubbish. This will allow new plantings to take place on river to enhance the koala corridor.

Walk along the corridor with MRCCC

Friday 19 April 2013 Brad Wedlock from MRCCC walked along the corridor with two of the landholders and other GMA members.

We surveyed the erosion, looked at species diversity and visited biological control release sites.

Unfortunately it got too dark and we had to head back early before we reached the end of the corridor.

It was a great afternoon!

Another planning walk for Love Mary day

The Mary River Koala corridor project has been progressing steadily - the trees we planted in September are also going well, weed control has been ongoing and planning for our community event is in full swing.

Our community event is called Love Mary Day and it will take place on Sunday 17 February 2013. The event includes stalls, speakers on many things to do with the river and biodiversity and an interpretive walk along the riparian zone.

Juanita and Glenda had already done some work on planning the interpretive walk. Yesterday a few more of us joined them to further map out some of the features that we will highlight on the walk. Glenda also collected seeds for inclusion in seed balls that will be made on the day.

On our walk we saw turtles, stormbirds, water dragons and loads of interesting features. We also collected some Cats Claw for weaving baskets.
