Friends of Edendale

Diamond Creek Edendale Community Revegetation Project

We welcome your participation at our next plant care working bee. It involves activities such as maintaining or removing tree guards, weeding and mulching, and other aspects of ongoing care. Looking after our plantings is essential to the long-term success of the project. You can see the success from the below ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos.

 

 

Location

• Meet at the big blue Friends of Edendale banner along the Diamond Creek Trail abutting Edendale Farm.

Safety when working outdoors

All outdoor volunteers to wear

- Long pants, (not leggings) that come down to cover your ankles and the top of your footwear.

- Sturdy footwear and socks to cover ankles.

- Long-sleeved shirt - a loose cotton airy shirt is often cooler than a t-shirt

- Broad-brimmed hat

- Garden gloves (extra pairs are also available on the day)

- Sunscreen.

- Bring a water bottle

If you see a snake:

- Move away calmly and give the snake space.

- Warn others nearby and clear the area if necessary.

- Notify a staff member immediately.

- From a safe distance, keep the snake in sight so we can inform a snake catcher if it’s in a public area.

Volunteers working in gardens or along the creek, stay alert. Check before reaching into plants or dense vegetation.
