Newsletter #73 July 2009
Good weather for fungi!
The good rains we have had so far this winter have prompted many fungi to emerge. After our recent committee meeting we found so many fungi along the track between the gate and the shed that we didn't get any further!
Roz explaining some of the finer points of fungi identification to John and Vicki
2009 Bush to Beach Walk
This is a draft route that we are planning for this year's walk.
The 2009 Bush to Beach walk will be held on Saturday 5th September - beginning at Kings Park (9.30am) and ending with a picnic at Perry Lakes followed by an optional walk through Bold Park.
Coming Events
Some events to mark in your diaries: Saturday, 5th September - Bush to Beach Walk - contact Dani. To register - email: Dani's email, or text: 0420334601 - please give me contact details - email (so that I can send you information about the walk, and a phone number so that I can contact you if necessary.Committee Meeting
Our most recent committee meeting was held on Sunday 5th July (John, Phil, Dorothy, Roz, Vicki, Dani). At this meeting we discussed:- control of Black Flag - we still don't really know how to control it - but it is spreading - so Vicki is getting contractors to spray with Dalapon.
- Animal scratchings in the bushland - could it be the Southern Bandicoot? Need to contact the WA Museum to see if we can get some trapping done.
- Mapping of bushland weeds - we need help with weed mapping this spring - might see if we can get university students to do it as a project.
- Next meeting - September (after the BtB walk)
