July 20th 2014 marks 25 years since Landcare was announced as a national initiative and Landcare wants to use that day to capture the diversity of Landcare and Landcarers and see what one of Australia’s largest volunteer movement looks like 25 years on. We have been asked for a photo of our Bitou Busters group taken on the actual day. Due to our schedule of working bees we're not able to get together for this but we hope to be with you next year.
RSVP by Friday 28 November

Great Lakes Council is planning its annual Bitou Bush aerial spraying program due to take place later this month.
Across the City, native animals become dependent on our backyards to survive when their habitat is damaged or lost. Whether you live in a house, unit, or apartment, by allowing your backyard to become a habitat garden, you are helping the local wildlife. Creating a wildlife-friendly habitat is easy and could be as little as building a birdbath, providing hollow shelter, or planting native shrubs
Bitou Busters Michael and Adele have started twice weekly weeding on a Monday and Tuesday morning and would love occasional or even regular help.
There was a fabulous turnout for the Hawks Nest and Tea Garden's Bitou Busters’ first session of 2016.
