February Bushcare – Return to Else-Mitchell

After a long break for fire, smoke, and rain, it was good to return to Else-Mitchell for a productive morning of bushcare.

The varied tasks included checking out the impact of drought, cleaning up flood damage, planting new plants (thanks Linda!) collecting seeds, and Trad weeding.

Checking out the impact of a long hot summer
