The motly crew of Gearys Gap/Wamboin Landcarers having completed a big job of planting and watering at Birchmans Estate, 2009. It was very hot and very dry, towards the end of the millenium drought.

The Wamboin Volunteer Rural Fire Brigade members generously assist us with watering new plantings. Birchmans Estate, 2009.

This was a new development a few years ago. We planted hundreds of trees along a greenway and around the community dam. The initial planting was done in March 2009, and this is a photo of the follow-up planting in winter. The results from the first planting were not perfect but were fairly good, considering the drought conditions.

Our nursery, on the property of one of our members, is where we propagate plants for sale locally and to use in local planting projects.

Planting along the new part of Birchmans Grove in 2008. It looked so bare then!

We planted shrubs and grasses along the bank of the oval adjacent to the Wamboin Community Association hall in Bingley Drive, Wamboin.

Above are photos from our initial planting of trees and shrubs on the Birchmans Estate Greenway. It occurred on a 35-plus degree summer's day in the heart of the millenium drought, 2009. Today we did additional plantings of eucalypts and acacias, filling in some of the gaps. A freezing cold winter's day (6 degrees, feels like 2 degrees, according to BOM) in another terrible drought that has yet to be named.
