Winter rains trigger regeneration

Recent rainfall has triggered the return of wildflowers and other weeds. At a recent bush regeneration session at Maynard Park we welcomed the return of many native species including Lepidium, Erodium, Euchiton, Calocephalus, and Rhodanthe. Weeds have also returned including Milk Thistle, Smooth Mustard, and Ruby Dock. We got the chance to remove the dozen or so Ruby Dock seedlings before they produced any seeds giving me the confidence to say that we have now removed this weed from the site. Perseverance does pay-off when it comes to weed control. The next bush regeneration session will be on Sunday the 18th August, 8:30-10:30am.
