The Anglican Parish - Church of the Resurrection on the corner of Honour Ave and Mt Macedon Rd, along with other landowners along Riddells Creek, are working with Melbourne Water to improve the Creek. The Church have 800 grasses, sedges and lilies to be mass planted within 4 metres of the Creek, along a stretch of about 70 metres, to protect the creek bank and water flow and quality. The area has already had extensive control of willows, blackberries and other woody weeds, to prepare the area for planting.
The Landcare Group has been invited to help with the planting as part of its commitment to waterways of the area.
The Working Bee commences at 9:00 AM on Saturday October 12 until completion of the planting, or 12noon. Come and go as you are able.
Morning tea will be available mid-morning.
Access to the site is via the pedestrian gate on Mount Macedon Rd opposite Centennial Park. Parking is available at Centennial Park or in the church car park Honour Avenue. (Walking to the site through the church grounds is best avoided as the ground can be very wet, especially after rain.)
