Porter Scrub Walk and weed
2025-06-22 14:00 - 16:30 | South Australia
We will be undertaking various activities which will include another walk and weed session, where we will focus on weeding along and off the track to the exclosure, within the exclosure (if needed) and in the creekline.
We will also check out how the plants are faring in these dry conditions. In addition, we will be planting Liz’s Maroonhoods (Pterostylis pedunculata), which she has been growing for some time. The species is a common orchid and endemic to south-eastern Australia.
We will find a suitable spot in the exclosure, plant, water and pin them. We will also check the rain gauge. Cross your fingers and toes that we have something to record!
Hope to see you next month on Sunday 22 June, 2:00-4:30pm.
Meet northern end of park off Burfords Hill Road.
Park inside if enough space, otherwise safely on the roadside.

Meet at the northern end off Burfords Hill Road on Saturday 6th September.
Meet 2 pm. Session to finish about 5 pm.

Firstly we will visit the exclosure and collect bamboo stakes that have fallen over that do not serve a purpose, otherwise re-position them. We will also re-label our planting pins.
After this we will undertake two frog surveys along the two different sections of Howard Creek.
To undertake a survey we need to download the FrogSpotter app to our device prior. Each survey is only 3 minutes which requires being still and quite so the app can record the frog calls.
I have download the app so we can use my phone unless someone would like to have a go.
You may wish to, prior the session to see how it works and even try it at home to see what frogs you have.

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
