Planting Updates
This group commenced in July 1998, and has
steadily replaced weed species like Tecoma (yellow jacaranda),
Singapore Daisy, Madeira vine and Glycine with appropriate local plants.
Participation has come
from areas including the Everton Park Saturday Cub Scouts, students at
Grovely TAFE, Conservation Volunteers Australia, Greening Australia and
local residents.
Approximately 3500 plants, ranging from
grasses to trees, have been planted to try and
recreate lost habitat. Waterhousia floribunda (Weeping lillypilly) is
naturally regenerating in the streambed.
Fauna sightings include kingfishers,
swallows, wrens, honeyeaters, pheasant coucals, carpet snakes,
bandicoots, and, very recently, a lone Rufous Night Heron in the creek
bed.
Over January to March 2008, an extension of the bikeway will take place from Osborne Road to Lansvale Street. See the details on our Projects section page.
We welcome anyone and everyone to enjoy our
bit of the Brook.
