## Preparation
[] Get more loads of mulch (@maclean has found a place that has free mulch)
[] @Timotheos: add tree list of other natives down on the flat, including Richmond Birdwing butterfly host vines, bunya and lemon myrtle
[x] @Emily: Find all the gloves around [[map/cottage]] and surrounding area, bring them down
[x] @Emily: Bring scissors down for further detail clearing
[x] @Emily: Count richmond birdwing butterfly vines, bunya nut pines n lemon myrtle

[] Bring fuel down for brushcutters
[x] Find wheelbarrow ~it is in [[map/pineappleshed]]
[] Bring down wheelbarrow
[] Find soldering iron and use it for burning plant names into wooden labels
[] Soak lomandra seeds and prepare other native seeds for planting
[] Remove tree protectors from existing Festival Flat trees that don't need them (to reuse for new plantings)
[] Update map of target area
[] Make a plan for stakes
[] Make a plan for food
[] Make a plan for music and shelter
[x] Search for additional gloves and tools
[x] Send GIS files to Josh
[x] Find or purchase tiny mattocks
[x] Make seed list

## General plan
🌱 Saturday 9th April 2022 is 'clear the riparian area of lantana and weeds' day
🌱 Sunday 10th April 2022 is 'plant all our plant babies' day (both tubestock and seeds)
🌱 Work bee attendees (please confirm attendance with members first) are welcome to set up camp Friday afternoon & leave Monday morning
🌱 Bring boots, snacks, drinks, and friends
The creek surrounds just North of the Festival Flat are the target area for an ecological restoration project at Firestone Sanctuary. We have a grant from council with the Land For Wildlife programme, as well as using some of the kind donations received from visitors such as yourself, to put towards a big planting in this area.
So, we are holding a work bee and big camp-over weekend, with bonfire and hangs on the Saturday night 🙂
We will be clearing (with brushcutters, machetes, scythes) the area of invasive species (e.g. lantana) on Saturday 9th, hanging out together that night, then planting all the tubestock seedlings on the Sunday 10th April.
- Use lantana as stakes?
- Use carpet squares with slits around each tree / birdwing vine as protectors
Other consideraitons:
- Food
- Music
- People organiser on the day
Current tool list:
- 2 fuel-powered brushcutters
- 8 pairs of gloves + 1 pair welding gloves
- 1 sledgehammer
- 1 woodsplitting axe
- 2 short rusty machetes
- 1 longer machete
- 1 scythe
- 3 loppers
- 2 fencing tools
- 4 spades and shovels (+1 up top if needed)
- 2 rakes (+1 up top if needed)
- 2 post hole diggers
- 2 cutting mattocks
- 2 pick mattocks
- 1 pick
- 1 rubber mallet
- 2 metal mallets
- 2 hand hoe planting tools
- 1 can PURPLE spray paint
:~)
- 5 scizzors
- 5 extra gloves collected around cottage
Jaye will bring:
- 1 motored auger
- 2 brushcutters
The target ares is a riparian zone, waterway area, fringing woodland / vine forest.
Council mapped the target area as [[https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/regional-ecosystems/details/?re=12.3.7|RE 12.3.7]] / [[https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/regional-ecosystems/details/?re=12.3.16|12.3.16]] with an 80/20 ratio between those two (RE means Regional Ecosystem code).

## General plan
🌱 Saturday 9th April 2022 is 'clear the riparian area of lantana and weeds' day
🌱 Sunday 10th April 2022 is 'plant all our plant babies' day (both tubestock and seeds)
🌱 Work bee attendees (please confirm attendance with members first) are welcome to set up camp Friday afternoon & leave Monday morning
🌱 Bring boots, snacks, drinks, and friends
The creek surrounds just North of the Festival Flat are the target area for an ecological restoration project at Firestone Sanctuary. We have a grant from council with the Land For Wildlife programme, as well as using some of the kind donations received from visitors such as yourself, to put towards a big planting in this area.
So, we are holding a work bee and big camp-over weekend, with bonfire and hangs on the Saturday night 🙂
We will be clearing (with brushcutters, machetes, scythes) the area of invasive species (e.g. lantana) on Saturday 9th, hanging out together that night, then planting all the tubestock seedlings on the Sunday 10th April.
- Use lantana as stakes?
- Use carpet squares with slits around each tree / birdwing vine as protectors(mulch south, seed cast north)
Other consideraitDuties on the day:
- Create strakes using lantana and purple spray
- @Kane: timelapse duty
- @Anita and Ben photography for Saturday
- Ian photography for Sunday
Other considerations:
- Food
- Music
- People organiser on the day
Current tool list:
- 2 fuel-powered brushcutters (one two-stroke, one four-stroke)
- 8 pairs of cotton latex gloves + 5 pairs gloves + 1 pair welding gloves
- 1 sledgehammer
- 1 woodsplitting axe
- 2- 5 short rusty machetes
- 1 longer machete
- 1- 2 scythes
- 3 loppers
- 2 fencing tools
- 4 spades and shovels (+1 up top if needed)
- 2 rakes (+1 up top if needed)
- 2 post hole diggers
- 2 cutting mattocks
- 2 pick mattocks
- 1 pick
- 1 rubber mallet
- 2 metal mallets
- 2 hand hoe planting tools
- 1 can PURPLE spray paint
:~)
- 5 scizzors
- 5 extra gloves collected around cottagescissors
Jaye will bring:
- 1 motored auger
- 2 brushcutters (one two-stroke, one four-stroke)
The target ares is a riparian zone, waterway area, fringing woodland / vine forest.
Council mapped the target area as [[https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/regional-ecosystems/details/?re=12.3.7|RE 12.3.7]] / [[https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/regional-ecosystems/details/?re=12.3.16|12.3.16]] with an 80/20 ratio between those two (RE means Regional Ecosystem code).
