Want to come give the fire affected areas a helping hand?

Hi Friends,

You are invited to come help assist the Kinglake Rangers and Friends of Warrandyte State Park to create a link between the severely fire affected Kinglake National Park and the unburnt Warrandyte-Kinglake Nature Conservation Reserve by constructing a corridor of continuous vegetation which will allow animals to re-inhabit Kinglake National Park.

Ninety-eight percent of Kinglake National Park was burnt in the February 2009 fires with a fire intensity never before experienced. The fire has resulted in a vast reduction in small mammal numbers, specifically the Brush Tailed Phascogale and Common Dunnart, in Kinglake National Park.

The Biolink project will enhance the connection with known populations of these species in unburnt forest and facilitate the recovery of these species.

There are two days where planting, seeding or fence maintenance will be carried out

Thursday 2nd of September 9am to 1pm (meet at nursery 23C10 or on site 9.30)

Saturday 18th of September 10am to 2pm  (meet onsite)
Some morning tea will be provided

Please bring weather appropriate clothing, gloves, food and water

The Watsons Creek Biolink site is easily accessed from Marshalls Road, approximately

10.3km from the township of St Andrews and approximately 61km from the Melbourne CBD.

The site is sloped and just a short walk from the carpark.

Meet at the end of Marshalls Rd, melways 265 K1

Call Kelly on 0439612571 for more infomation
