A huge weekend. Massive clearing of long grass by hand with an old Cane Cutter blade. Then planted over 60 trees. The aim was to help our mate Jules stabilise the sloping land beneath his pool

Big weekend. I watered the 100+ trees we planted on Saturday. Handheld 8L watering can, up and down a 30m 45 degree slope 💪

Loaded up the car with 285 grasses, shrubs and trees for our weekend of planting near Dunoon!!! No room for Chris lol

Helped out our maintenance person with trimming shrubs back from the shopping centre entrance to make sure it’s safe for families! We turned these trimmed branches and clippings into mulch which was placed back on the gardens to help retain moisture during long spells with rain and helps with weed control!!

Weeded the gardens to help the plants thrive!

Vanish the vines from the rose garden this week...what a mission..

Helped out Steve - cleaned some of the rubbish out of the garden beds.

Did another 30min on the pathway. Halfway done. Can you tell where I got up to in the first pic??

Glycine regrowth removed from the lomandras and Eucalyptus tree. Roots removed, no poison required!! Looks good in the before and after pics below.

Glycine vine is over growing these lomandras and the biobasin opposite. I can sort out the path, but will get council to do some heavy lifting in the basin. We can then maintain 😊

Here’s just one of many trees being smothered and killed along a popular path near the Sunnybank Rugby club. 15min later it has a new lease on life!

Retrieved party balloons from the ocean

This plastic bag was dancing in the wind like a land jellyfish, just needing to be put in the bin, as I made my way to the bus. Now a turtle won’t mistake it as a real jellyfish if it made it to the ocean. You can write stories without outputs and mins spent if it is a once off good gesture, or even if you notice someone else’s great work, or if something needs to be done.

Talking strategy with Cam!

I picked up rubbish.

I planted 3 paper bark trees along the fence line and a lemon scented tea 🌳 next to chicken coop. So chickens are happy smelling lemon scent whenever wind blows. I am so excited about having big willow like trees in 5 years

Evicting vines from the side of a housing estate. Please view the before and after pictures. What a transformation and a good feeling to have kbowing this little shrub was in trouble.. Now free to feel the breeze between its branches..

I went for a walk today and picked up rubbish in my street and local park.

Revisited the biobasin on Miles Platting Road, removed regrowth of glycine vine. The trees are looking happy and healthy. Will return as more vine in the lomandras.

I took my car in for a Service at Joy Motors in Underwood on Friday morning, so had some time to kill. Went to Springvale Park where I spent 45mins removing mostly Monkey Rope vine, with small amounts of passionfruit and Gylcine vine from Casurinas, two eucalypts and a Wattle. Lovely hearing an Eastern whipbird as I worked.
