Getting the track clear.
Warmer spring weather is the perfect time to put on your gloves and sturdy boots and join us at our working bees.
BYO gloves and hat and basic tools (e.g. weeding fork).
[Feel free to bring a brushcutter ? – FOCH can reimburse you for fuel and string.]
The focus for the remainder of this year is weeding, tidying and clearing. No more planting for a while.
Meeting point will be as emailed out to members in advance, but normally at one of the two picnic tables. If in doubt contact Jan Thompson at strongjan@bigpond.com or on 0412 499 872.
Dates for the next working bees:
We’re trialling a once per month ‘come-one-come-all’ schedule for the remainder of this year, with the second ‘Back to the Track’ event being on Sunday 7th November 10am thru 12noon.
For more information, please contact Jan Thompson on 0412 499 872 or via friends@cornishhilldaylesford.com.au.

The Friends profile is forever being enhanced by the different skills each member brings. As a group we are open to different ideas and relish creativity. You may have a skill you would like to offer and it does not need to be of the manual labour variety. Maybe you are a whizz with a camera and would like to create a wild flower album, perhaps history is your interest, maybe website maintenance. We don’t know until you tell us so please email to friends@cornishhilldaylesford.com or check us out on Facebook.
