When: 10am - 12pm, Sunday 16th August 

Join MCMC for a walk, talk and weed in guling season (August). We’ll visit six renewed patches of indigenous habitat between Warrk-warrk (nimble) Bridge and Woolton Ave, Northcote that have had 18 months of Green Links conservation work from volunteers, Darebin City Council, Friends of Merri Creek and MCMC.

We’ll note the science that drives decisions such as seasons to plant, the role of cool burns and smoke for plant germination, and fascinating interrelationships between indigenous plants, animals, insects and soils.

Bookings essential: HERE

Meeting point: at the end of Beaconsfield Pde, Northcote. Here's the Google maps pin: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vw88ywoMnYPtzPid6

Did you know: Platypus live in waterways across most of Victoria, however platypuses and dogs aren’t suited to cohabitation. Dog attacks are one of the leading causes of platypus deaths in Victoria. Male platypuses carry venom in sharp, venomous ankle spurs that can harm your dog, so please always walk your dog on a lead around creeks and keep your dog safe from snakes too. This October, WaterWatch Victoria is encouraging everyone to Take the Lead for Platypus, by leashing dogs around waterways. 

No dogs please. Suitable for 8 years+. Children must be supervised at all times. Dress for the weather. Light snack afterwards. All gear supplied. All welcome.
