May Conservation Day
The focus of this month's gathering was to survey nature as summer approaches. The other initiative was to reopen a path that previously was fenced off. Having certain areas fenced off over the last few months has prevented visitors from trampling new plants and resulted in healthy regrowth across the site.
April Conservation Day
The last effort was to build and repair the pathways with the mulch that was left. The effort was successful, only a small pile of mulch is left which will be used for repairs. The focus started to shift to nature itself with holding our first wildlife survey. To do that we worked with the volunteers to record animals and plants using the apps iRecord (for plants and animals) and Birdtrack (specifically for birds). These findings were submitted for expert reevaluation and to record them against our Nature Reserve.
March Conservation Day
Amazed by the community spirit about 30 people participated in our monthly event to continue building the pathways and repair them where it was necessary and also to continue to create valuable habitats.
February Conservation Day
Following up on the success of the first event, we had another great turnout again with about 30 people with the focus on continuing to lay the mulch on the pathways and clearing out branches to turn them into habitats for nature.
January Conservation Day
We organised our first community working day for the Reserve. A great team of 30 people turned up to help with litter picking, creating log piles for habitats, and laying mulch on the paths to keep them dry and accessible for everyone.
