Creek Group Working Bees

Toowong Creek Rehabilitation Group
The upcoming working bees along or close to Toowong Creek.

Meeting point is cnr Broseley Rd and Kent Street.

All future working bees will be held on the third Sunday of every month. The next dates are, 20th November; 18th December, 15th January, 19th February and 18th March. May I suggest that we meet a little earlier during the summer month and start work at 8.00am. The temperature tends to be a little inconvenient.

There will always be water on standby and morning tea after our two hour sessions. We can talk about approaches to our rehabiliation of the area, exchange information and ideas.

Please note that we (CWCN) have applied for a Federal Government grant for the upper reaches of Toowong Ck but are guarded in our expectations. Grant rounds are always very competitive and this year there seems to be a much higher number of applicants. We can only keep our fingers crossed and hope that a variety of funding avenues will open up anyway so that we can have some of the larger weed trees cut down that hinder our progress.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am happy to meet you on site. Please contact Jutta Godwin for more information on 0407 583 441.
