Get to Know Mary and tree planing working bee

Working bee planted 50 trees on the fifth property to be included in the project.

We finalised plans for the riverbank walk and checked it for safety etc.

More trees planted and tubers potted up

Another 60 trees were planted today. Lots of blue gums and some narrow leafed iron bark.
That brings our total number of trees planted to more than 400!

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!

Wonderful Working Bee

We had a fantastic working bee on Sunday 24th March

Over 100 koala food trees planted, about 20 Cats Claw tubers potted up, background of the banner for Love Mary Day planted and lids made for tingid boxes!

Thanks everyone for your hard work.

Fencing and species lists decisions

At our GMA meeting on 12 June, we made decisions about the fencing and species lists for our project.

The current species lists are based on the trees that Koalas in our region prefer. It's based on advice from local koala expert Natalie Richardson.

The species list will be further refined with the by  consulting the lists of species that are associated with the regional ecosystems found within the Koala Corridor. We'll also refer to expert advice from Greg Smyrell after his visit to the site this year, and previous expert advice from Marilyn Connell.

We will also be getting some quotes for weed control contractors in the near future.
