Aim for this Working Bee:
This is an "out of session" working bee in association with Birdlife Australia. We will be pulling sea spurge to help protect our precious Hooded Plovers. If you are attending please email your RSVP finn.saurine@birdlife.org.au . This will help with estimating catering numbers.

It was a bit rainy for this working bee but a considerable amount of spurge was removed from the fore and back dunes. About 12 people joined this working bee with half heading west and the other half heading east. This area hadn't been worked on since the early days of lockdown in 2021 so there was a lot of mature growth to be removed. It is hoped that local residents can take care of the residual seed load as it comes up. It was wonderful to see Dave and Jeannie Hartney at this working bee - they have been our hoodie champions! An aluminium tinny was found in the dunes as we were working. About 8 very full garden bags of spurge were disposed of.
