FW: Photos - 22 July 2006 - Gully at Glade Place entrance to LeRoys Bush

[kwsalmon]

Hi all

 

Here is a photo to celebrate the good work we have done in the gully at the Glade Place entrance to LeRoys Bush.

 

Despite the setback with the slip at the head of the gully, during the first half of the year, the working bees have made great progress with the gully looking more like a bush reserve and less like a rubbish tip.

 

We have made a big clearance of noxious weeds - with the most spectacular successes being around the big totara - just where the footpath down across to Valley Road starts.  

The first photo shows the gully looking up past the big totara.

 

The second photo shows the new rocks that have been dropped by council at the head of the gully - just below the stormwater drain outlets. It looks pretty rough at present, but in due course some natives around the fringes and carex between the rocks should improve its appearance and help suppress invasive weeds.

 

Thanks to all who have helped with weeding and planting.  Looking forward to seeing you again.

 

Regards,

 

Keith
