Overview of this event
To raise awareness of the platypus’s plight and conservation needs, we will be planting trees, shrubs and groundcovers along the creek to:
- provide shade for platypus and their food prey (small creek critters) in summer
- improve habitat for birds and other wildlife
- stabilise the creek banks
- provide filter to clean water as it enters the creek.
Everyone is welcome. No experience is needed and training will be provided. We will be working by a creek, so children are welcome, but must be closely supervised.
Those living along Summer Hill Creek are especially welcome. This is a good chance to meet other creek dwellers and learn about the creek ecology.
Registration is essential via email to ckinross@csu.edu.au by Friday 12 September.
Picnic lunch provided.
4WD helpful to cross a creek, but not necessary (not far to walk).
Gumboots recommended and long plants and sleeves, plus hat. Gloves provided if needed
This event has been provided for you by Summer Hill Creekcare as part of Central Tablelands Biodiversity Month.
