This working bee will be the first one held as part of the project titled "Centennial Avenue Rehabilitation of Dumaresq Creek” for which the AURG received a grant from the NSW Environmental Trust.
“The creek lands are looking great and we’ve been receiving a lot of positive feedback for our work along the Creek," said Bryan Johnston, AURG Coordinator.
“The grant from the NSW Environmental Trust allows us to continue the restoration and rehabilitation of Dumaresq Creek and will underpin our work for the next three years.
“The day will begin with an introduction to the project to rehabilitate the creek lands downstream of where Centennial Ave would intersect with Dumaresq Creek.
“Then we will plant Juncus and Lomandra and go for a walk along the creek. As always there will be morning tea and lunch provided by the Armidale Dumaresq Lions for a gold coin donation.”
“Please come along and join us for all or part of the working bee. You’ll need a long sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy boots as well as gloves, a broad brim hat and sunscreen.”
The working bee will start at 8:30am and finish after lunch. Access and parking for Site 11 on the northern side of Dumaresq Creek is off Erskine Street into Centennial Close. There is a narrow walkway from Centennial Close through to the creek lands opposite Site 11.
Alternatively, park at Phil Wheaton Field and walk along the drainage line, on the Centennial Close side, through to the creek lands.
