more E. deanei planting

A big thank you to the Blue Mountains Regeneration Team for their great work in preparing planting holes for our March Bushcare day. With the ground work so skillfully prepared, the bushcare team planted out over twenty E. deanei seedlings.

Thank you to Glen Perry and Mike Purcell for propagating and nurturing our ‘deanei babies’.

exploring the Deanei ‘off-track’

During the last week of January, John, Mike and Richard, members of the Deanei Forest bushcare team, explored the Deanei Reserve ‘offtrack’. We discovered a rich and beautiful environment with some interesting links to Springwood’s bygone days.

A great place to explore

In the lower parts of the Deanei Reserve, there is an old road leading to the headwaters of Fitzgeralds Creek.
