G.J. Gardner and Merriman Creek Landcare Volunteers planted 700 plants along an ephemeral saline waterway to link patches of bush and provide a wildlife corridor and shelter for stock. The area was recently fenced off as part of a Landcare project. The Landcare group and GJG Sale provided the trees and the labour. Because it was school holidays, G.J. Gardner in Sale were able to shut up shop and make it a family day with employees and their children enjoying the tree planting and a BBQ lunch. Luckily we had some children who had brought their binoculars, they were able to provide ample warning to the rest of us of the approach of a particularly determined swooping Magpie.

Great to see Anthony and the team out planting trees in the local area with the local Landcare group. I’m thinking the Magpie kept you on your toes and added an element of excitement to the day’s planting. Spring in Australia is always an interesting time.
