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

We had a wonderful working bee today. Thank you to everyone who came along to plant trees. 

We were also treated to a wonderful French themed surprise prepared by Cecile. A tradition for starting the New Year with an epiphany. Each if us took a piece of la-galette-des-rois.and our king and queen of the corridor were crowned..., based on  finding small ceramic figures in the delicious French dessert! 

We planted about 90 trees. 😄

Today was a bit different to other days because we started in the afternoon. It was lovely being down by the river in the afternoon.

Hamish found a nest of baby birds! Well done Hamish! 

 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.
