5 August, 8am: Join the visit by Commonwealth Minister for the Environment to Wolli Valley
*** Event postponed to 5 Aug, 8am *** We've been advised that Tony Burke has been asked by the PM to go to Tasmania, so the event is postponed until Friday 5 August at 8am. *** Environment Minister, and member for Watson, Tony Burke will be presenting a cheque for $20,000 to the Wolli Creek Preservation Society (WCPS). The WCPS is very excited to have the Minister back in the Valley after his earlier kayak trip up Wolli Creek in March this year, in the company of Society members. The $20,000 funding is a Community Action Grant under the Commonwealth’s Caring for Country program. The presentation will take place at a bushland area at Illoura Reserve, Earlwood; the funds will be used to continue bush restoration work there. While there, the Minister will also inspect the adjacent, newly constructed bio-retention basin at the end of Johnston St. Earlwood. This basin, designed to remove nutrients from stormwater has been built under the Cooks River Urban Water Initiative, also funded by the Commonwealth Government. The project was managed by the Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority (CMA), and the City of Canterbury. CMA officers...

25 June – New bushcare group at Stotts Reserve
Meet in Kingsland Road North (off Slade Road), Bexley North, 9:00am-12:30pm. We are excited to have a new bushcare group and site, and this is the first session of the group which is supported by Rockdale Council. This is an outstanding parcel of bushland, 3.75 hectares with terrific diversity of bushland. Morning tea is organised for this first month, and we are looking for volunteers for a roster to bring break food and drink along each month. So you don't have to actually do bush regeneration in order to be involved! Please let us know if you plan to come for this session, or if you'd like to offer to take on a morning tea role for future sessions. Email: info@wollicreek.org.au, or tel. 9554 3176.
