Big thanks for coming to our recent Field Day!

We had a massive Buffel Bust in Spencer Valley, with over 20 people, a lovely mix of experienced and new volunteers.

Such beautiful weather for it, no flies, and yummy food to eat too!!

My expectations were exceeded wonderfully – we managed to clear the seeded clumps out of the whole tip of the triangle!

Plus the Community Garden got three deliveries of buffel for their veggie beds – a win-win.

Wish I’d taken some photos of those overflowing tarps. Whoops.

I’m planning a few more mornings over winter,

most likely beginning this Saturday 12th between 7am and 8.30am – Buffel –

meeting east of the Bike Information Shelter

(bearing in mind the Australian Plant Society and Alice Springs Field Naturalists

are doing a walk at to another Landcare site that morning

leaving opposite 102 Kurrajong Dve at 8.45am)

and also Saturday 19th at Spencer Valley – probably Cactus – for those who are interested.

The following weekend Ilparpa will be having their first Field Day on Sunday 27th between 7.30 and midday out at the Claypans.
