My thanks to Wingecarribee Shire Council for their smooth effective organisation, professional and friendly manner and a relaxed planting morning. I would also like to thank Birdlife Southern Highlands for all their enthusiastic volunteers who came today as well as those members who have laboured for the last 14 years to get the bird hide built. Last but not least thank you to the local volunteers and members of Landcare who lent a hand to plant over 400 plants.
