FRIENDS OF SOUTH SURREY PARK
SEPTEMBER 2019 NEWSLETTER
Sunday Working Bee - 29th September, 10 - 12 noon
Our next Sunday working bee will probably be infill mulching in the established plantation below Delta Street. The mulch in this area has become thinner and as we have planted some new seedlings in areas mulched previously it seems worthwhile to continue with this work. Weeding is an alternative activity. Both give our indigenous plants a better chance to flourish.
Meet below Delta street at 10.00 a.m wearing strong shoes and all weather gear. Bring along your family and friends and stay for a tea or coffee at the end.
The contact person is Pam - 0418176390
This photograph was taken about twenty years ago and shows the first plantings in the area we will be working in on Sunday week. It has changed so much since then.
Sunday August 25th Working Bee Report
We had a smaller group to work in the park on this Sunday but they were very dynamic. Holes had been dug in places around the Union Road end of the park and seedlings planted where there were bare patches. It looks really good and recent rains will have given the plants a good start.
You can join in the work of the group and contribute to running expenses by becoming a member. If you would like to become a Friend of South Surrey Park you can find the application for membership form at the end of this newsletter.
