Marlo Landcare working bee, AGM and some other things
Our next working bee will be on Sunday 21 June from 9.30 until about 11.30. The activity will be Sea Spurge weeding in the MOTS Beach area. We will meet at the MOTS carpark. Tools will be available but if you have a favourite trowel please bring it. Our past work on Sea Spurge over several years has been quite successful but follow up is needed every year to remove small seedlings and any bigger ones that we have missed.
We have had a couple of requests to help with tree planting around the area. I will send out the details (time and place) when we get firm dates.
Our AGM date is coming up fast. The committee set Tuesday 7 July as the provisional date but I will confirm this and advertise the details with agendas etc in the next week or so. The AGM will be followed by an ordinary meeting. All positions will be open and we welcome people interested in taking on a committee role.
One of the main frustrations that confronts anyone trying to do planting outside a well fenced area in our district is browsing by deer. We are looking to assemble a list of native shrubs and trees that deer dont like. There are existing lists of plants that deer dont like but many of these are exotic (and even weedy) species. If you have discovered native plants that deer dont eat please let me know.
Reminder to keep an eye on our Facebook page as well as the FEVL page for events and updates.
