9 am - 12 am     

Meeting Place: Community Nursery.  (Near Park Exit)
Everyone is welcome to these working bees / activities which are held every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month (with the odd exception).
Here's a list of what needs to be done:   (the list will be updated in the lead-up to the day).

Saturday 11th Oct:   A bit early so everything is TBC but in all probability the following will happen: (depending upon who and how many turn up)

Primary tasks:  (What we really want to get done)

• Clear up a patch of Pampas lily-of-the-valley  next to the she-oak car park

• For the adventurist , you can join Phil in the field near the northwest corner. many hundreds of trees need constant attention in this difficult environment.  Phil will be there from 10 am (bring a spade).

• Maintain our 'showcase garden' next to the nursery which desperately needs a good weeding.

• We really need  to do some tree and grass planting.   We've got the plants and the site prepared.  All we need is people.

• A team may clean up more of the Kikuyu down by the sheoak par park. 

• A team may go out and clean up  woody weed (broom , desert ash) in the park.   

Secondary tasks:  (other things we may tackle if appropriate at the time)

• There is still some graffiti to clean up on park benches and signs.

• A team may go out to observe seed pods and harvest seeds if the time is right.

Other tasks typically include:

Care and maintenance of plants in the nursery.

Maintaining the Karkarook Native Garden:   Some weeds are poking through - easy job if we keep on top of them.

Topping up the 'Little Library in the playground' with children's books.

Litter Collection:  A casual stroll through the park with litter bag and pick-up stick.

Wednesday 22nd October 2025 (the midweek crew)

1:30 - 4 ish. 

Normally, three or four of us like to get together mid-week to do 'odd jobs' -  finish off what was started last Saturday or make preparations for the next Saturday activity.
Alternatively we may tackle a task at the bottom of the list that we'd otherwise never get to.
The midweek crew network on WhatsApp so let us know if you want join in  (call John 0418 177 777)
