Invitation to a walk along the edge of the woods
Gardeners, nature watchers and ecological restorationists may like to join us in a guided tour of the ridgetop margin of Eskdale Forest, along the mown kikuyu edge of Eskdale Reserve where a white tape cordon marks the Gahnia Grove restoration project.
If you have a ready-made small group, we can schedule an hour to suit you, at a cost of $90 for the group.
Otherwise, email or message us your availability and interests, and we will see what can be organised.
From requests we have had so far, the focus for a tour could be
- efficient and effective control and eradication of environmental weeds without chemicals, especially kikuyu (beyond the mown area, which is controlled by mowing)
- free wild native groundcovers and leafy shrubs
- how to recognise the free native tree seedlings which pop up in your garden or restoration site
Our website has some information and photos of all these, with more to come.
