Fenner School & Friends of Grasslands second work party weeded a significant grassland site on Saturday 19th September 2009, at Yarramundi Reach, Canberra. Our work on the site earlier in the year has encouraged the National Capital Authority to invest in a management plan and other conservation measures.

The site is looking better and the weeds were easier to see, and we hope to eliminate remaining woody weeds, Chilean Needle Grass and St Johns Wort in the best habitat areas.

Further work parties are planned at Stirling Ridge on 17 October and 5 December, as well as a nature walk on 21 November with local expert, Adam Muyt.
