Inglewood Site Gorse Removal

Tuesday 10 January 2012

After working on seedlings at the two previous working bees in the area, most welcomed getting back to tackling the mature Gorse bushes at the lower (eastern) end of the Inglewood site. Quite a thick area of Gorse, now with quite a number of tall Cotoneaster bushes and Blackberry were also encountered.  There now only remains a small patch of Gorse and Blackberry to finish off the primary work.  The Blackberry has all been just small outbreaks, but that remaining is a bit larger.   A 4wd drive width track marks the end of the forested area and also our work site, but below this a line of Blackberry and gorse right down to Strickland avenue which will be left for the HCC to determine how it should be managed.
Near the park entrance there is a patch of Gorse that may be tackled at future working bees

Showers caused us to finish work about 30 minutes early
