BIG CLEAN OUT AT JOHNSTON ST BUSHCARE

The Johnston Street bushcare team coordinated with National Parks to do a large removal of cuttings from the bushcare site. One of the team Julie Deady, says, “There were several of us, plus the NPWS driver, Rory. We worked from 9 till after 11 dragging cut branches and vines from the bush and piling them on the truck.

 

Some of the cuttings have been waiting for two years to be removed from the Park, from when they were damaged by Sydney Water. Mainly privet bushes and Ochna (Mickey Mouse Plant) have been removed to allow light through to the forest floor and encourage the growth of indigenous plants. It was a big effort this morning!”
