Volunteers from the Tuesday Team have begun eradicating this dreadful weed from the Lions Park on Curtis Rd. Once the privet has all been removed, we will plant a sizeable corridor along the boundary with local natives, to create more wildlife habitat.  We are working with Scenic Rim Regional Council, who have care of the park, on this project. The photo below shows some of the corridor area, which has now been mulched, where planting will begin in the next few months.

 

Our contractor has almost completed preparation for the planting of nectar trees. Five hundred trees are to be planted in February; thanks to the recent rains the tubestock will get off to a good start. Further plantings will be undertaken in the near future, and the birdwing butterfly vines will be planted next year.

 

Some of the lush tubestock to be planted at the Shelf Rd Birdwing Butterfly Project site. 

 

Moneys raised by the sale of our quality second hand books are used to support projects on sites not under SRRC jurisdiction. One such is the Tamborine Mountain State School Rainforest, located at the back of the school carpark. Regular work is being carried out there to eradicate invasive vines and other weeds. This tiny jewel of forest is now being used by the school for environmental / science learning. The newly planted Richmond Birdwing Butterfly vines there will be a good food source for butterflies.

This year's event will be held at Rosser Park. Mark the date in your diary, and watch this space for further details.
