We had a small but successful planting at Bobs Park, Menzies Creek on Saturday, 29th October, 2016. One family of 6 and 3 other volunteers planted the 210 plants kindly provided by G J Gardner Homes. I had prepared the site the previous week by hand-weeding under the trees. Planting was easy in the deep, damp soil. We under-planted seven mature eucalypts and delineated the planting areas with logs. We had a good, soaking rain on the evening of the planting and have had two more rain events since. I have since visited the site and the plants are thriving. We are grateful for the planting opportunity G J Gardner Homes provided because there has been heavy tree loss in the park and we are wanting to protect the remaining mature eucalypts, our major asset.
