It was an awesome foursome that rocked up to Deanei Forest on a Sunday morning for some watering, but found excitement in seed collecting.
Liz, Mike, Richard and John did some emergency watering at the “stockpile site”, focusing on the many new plantings.
But then the fun started when authorised seed collector Liz found numerous seeds easily accessible thanks to wind and birds.
The last session for 2019 covered a wide area with many activities and a good turnout of volunteers.
Starting at Lawson Rd, the group checked on the recent plantings and delivered much-needed water. Monica’s fab new 100-litre water tank looked good but wasn’t quite ready for the big time yet.
The Xmas morning tea was a tasty combination of fudge, hommus, Tim Tams, and fruit, including Frank’s marvellous mulberries.
Then it was over to the stockpile site for some serious re-staking and re-guarding of the young deanei and turpentines, and admiring some of the very healthy young trees.
And amongst all this action the team helped a school student with his project about volunteering. He came to the right place!
