Landcare cleans up

Sunday, March 5 is Clean Up Australia Day. Helensburgh & District Landcare has been participating for more than 25 years.

Each year we provide an opportunity for local residents to clean up an area of their own choice, e.g. local park, street or footpath. Landcare members also clean up selected areas.

Register at the Old Mine Surgery, 78 Parkes Street, between 10.30am and 1.30pm. We will provide you with a bag to collect rubbish, which you return to us. You need to wear covered-in shoes, long sleeves and a hat. For more information: email merilyn@helensburghlandcare.org.au or ring 0414 819 742.

Helensburgh & District Landcare members were delighted to receive a Crown Reserves Improvement Fund Grant to assist with our work at Helensburgh Station Reserve.

The money will be used to employ a bush-regeneration team to work on coral trees, Madeira vine, and other environmental weeds. The focus of the work will be in Tunnel Road on the corner where it crosses the creek. We have been concerned about safety here as the vegetation blocks visibility for pedestrians and drivers when approaching this corner.

Work has started at the site and will continue for months.
