Monthly propagation session

The Gearys Gap/Wamboin Landcare Group holds monthly plant propagation sessions, regular plant sales and occasional field days and community planting sessions. All activities are notified to members via email and also advertised where possible in The Whisper and the Bungendore Mirror. Membership is free and all hands are welcome! Propagation sessions are usually held from 9 to 11am on the first Saturday of each month at the Group's nursery in Wamboin. Sessions may include education on plant identification (especially weeds), propagation methods and other topics of interest. Meetings are held during propagation sessions rather than being held separately. The group has a large annual plant sale at the Bywong Car Boot Sale and also regularly sells plants at the monthly Wamboin Home Produce Market.

Propogation sessions on the first Saturday of each month

At the Group's nursery at Wamboin, new members and visitors welcome.

Talk on Hornsby Quarry

STEP has concerns that the project to fill Hornsby Quarry with spoil from the North Connex tunnel and create public recreation spaces will ignore the unique geological feature, the volcanic diatreme. In this talk Dr Ian Percival, who prepared the original geoheritage report on the Hornsby diatreme in 1979, will outline the geology of the feature, explain its origin, and will argue why it should be protected for future generations of geologists and the public. Ian is Senior Principal Research Scientist (Paleontologist) at the Geological Survey of NSW.
