Welcome to October FoG News!

Last month we did a significant planting in our Native Grass Compound.
We have also been networking with other environmental groups in the south

We have been helping the "Friends of O'Halloran Hill Conservation Park" plant trees and other plants.
We have been helping the "Friends of the Marino Conservation Park" plant native grasses and acacias.

We soon hope to finalise the "Vision Day" report. We will notify you when this becomes available, and we will put this on our website. We are excited about the future at Glenthorne, and will continue to strive to achieve the Goals and Aims proposed by the Vision Day.

The Vision Day report can now be downloaded from our website. See the Vision Day Webpage

October Enjoyment Day

Our next Enjoyment Day is this Sunday, 18th October 2015 from 10.00am until 2.00pm, and all are welcome.

Perhaps you would like to join us for a walk along the creek line to check on past revegetation efforts and to also survey the bird life. Records of birds collected by the Friends over a number of years, currently number around 90 different species and numbers have been increasing in recent years

We usually have tea or coffee and a discussion of recent events from around 1.00 pm.

We will be on site from 10.00am to 2.00pm and if you arrive after 10.00am please call Alan on 0411595910 for entry instructions.
