Pedal and Plant
Sunday 27 July | ⏰ 10am–2pm
📍 Meet at Ruby Community Hall, Ruby, South Gippsland
(Planting site is 1.5km along the rail trail towards Kardella)
South Gippsland Landcare Network and South Gippsland Shire Council are again partnering with Arawata Landcare Group for hours of fun planting 1500 indigenous trees, shrubs and grasses by the side of the Great Southern Rail Trail.
We’ll meet at Ruby Hall and make our way by bike or guided walk to the planting site, about 1.5 kilometres along the trail. We’ll learn about the native plants and animals already living along the rail trail as we walk. At the planting site, there will be plant guards to decorate, which will not only protect our seedlings from browsing animals but also form an outdoor art gallery.
Our fabulous friends from Leongatha Rotary and Leongatha Lions Club will provide a tasty lunch afterwards.
The South Gippsland Landcare Network, of which Loch Nyora Landcare Group is a member, provides information and events you may find interesting. The website link is https://www.sgln.net.au.

An interesting session was held. A presentation on how to use drones (see picture) to control weeds was most enlightening.
