Tree Planting Day September 2012
A grant was received to plant out 10,000 trees over a 9 hectare area in the Hedley Range to help arrest some serious tunnel erosion. On Sunday 23 September 17 members gathered together to plant 2000 of these trees.
The weather was not kind - a very cold and blustery day working on a steep slope in cattle-pocked land full of water…. and then it rained…and then it briefly hailed! Gosh! But in the end, we stood trying to warm ourselves, drinking hot tea, around a Webber BBQ while the roast lunch cooked, provided by the property owner. (Thanks Paul, it was delightful.)
