Ian Geddes Reserve Working Bee

Upper Billabong

Ian Geddes Reserve Working Bee

The next working bee will be on Sunday 10th August.

We will be focusing on cutting ivy off the trees, identifying the weeds and pulling baby privets. The site is really progressing to be an example of what a great healthy waterway in the Upper Billabong should look like.

Bring food and drink, gloves, sturdy clothing and footwear to suit the weather. Welcome to bring tools - digging implements & secateurs, but we will also provide some. Meeting at the Wilson St entrance. Come for a walk and hear about the natural environment at the reserve, Refreshing Rivers Program in the Upper Billabong and join our Holbrook Urban Landcare group!

More info call Kylie 0418198522 or Judy 0427043097.
