St Marks Grassland Working Bee

Help restore the unique regenerating ecosystem at St Marks Grassland by removing weeds together. Our native flowers are in full bloom at the St Marks Grassland. Just from looking at the place it seems that the plants benefited a lot from our cool burn this past May led by Uncle Wally Bell. Come along Saturday morning to help us water some new plantings and weed the area around them. CIT was kind enough to grow us a few plants, including Canberra's endangered Button Wrinklewort (Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides), which they have recently planted at the grassland. Throughout the morning, there will also be opportunities to learn about the diverse range of native grassland plants and common weed species found at St Marks, with plant identification shared along the way. Morning tea will be provided. Please bring: • Sturdy, enclosed footwear • Sun-smart clothing, hat and sunscreen • A water bottle • Gardening gloves (if you have them) Please note that this activity involves walking over uneven ground, bending, and physically removing woody weeds so may not suitable for people with limited mobility.
