The Green Army is a hands-on, practical environmental action program that supports local environment and heritage conservation projects across Australia. Having hosted 4 visits from the Green Army over the past 3 years, the Friends consider themselves to be very lucky as the program is to be phased out by June 2018. For one week beginning on Monday February 12th, a team of 8 plus team leader helped the Friends slash down large infestations of broom, gorse and blackberries as well as cutting and painting out re-emerged seedling woody weeds. Fortunately, we enjoyed cooler weather which made for a better working environment for the team and the real bonus is that Jesse and Freja have decided to sign up as members of our group.
