Greening Australia and Friends of Grasslands

27 March 2021

  Stirling Park (Gura Bung Dhaura)
  9:00am — 12:30pm

Friends of Grasslands, Greening Australia and the National Capital Authority are looking for volunteers to help replant an important part of Yarralumla. In 2020 an old pine plantation was removed and some replanting began. Now we will be undertaking the second of three work parties to re-establish indigenous flora at Stirling Park. We will mainly be planting 350 small trees and shrubs amidst the trees planted last year, which will extend habitat for bush birds.

We will meet on site at the western side of Stirling Park near the intersection of Hopetoun Circuit and Fitzgerald Street, Yarralumla. Please wear enclosed shoes and bring your own sun and eye protection and drinking water. Register with: Jamie.pittock@fog.org.au or 0407 265 131. The event will be rescheduled if the weather is unsuitable: a) the forecast is 35 deg C+, b) it is a total fire ban day, c) there is lightning, d) air quality is hazardous, or e) there is heavy rain. Tools are provided.

Greening Australia and Friends of Grasslands will be planting some 350 trees and shrubs on the site of the former pine plantation in Stirling Park (Gura Bung Dhaura) on Saturday 27 March 9am -12.30pm. For more information contact Jamie.pittock@fog.org.au
