Notes from the discussion

timotheos wants to reconnect with land for wildlife property on mountain mee

peter wants accessible documents on sanctuary property online~ upload documents onto resources channel on discord regularly

making a walking track from lemon hill, a flat would need to be made for a walk track as it is very steep n hard to walk
making bridges to make walking tracks more safe n accessible

pot hole has grown at the base of lemon hill during the flood
making bridges may be able to help this
plans for bridges are a helpful n necessary process
lemon hill will likely be resculptured with terraces to be less steep n stronger in rain n flood, to not wash away
we can draw on a map for space planning

elle bought a caravan
she plans to visit on weekends
her caravan will likely be down on the lilypad

peter is studying bobcat, excavator hiring n pricing
they will help with grass, gravel clearing
clearing sides of road vegetation to make safer, wider roads

hamil grass, possible herbicide to directly apply to roots~ saves energy n resources of constantly cutting down hamil grass regrowth
cross hatching grass, lantana to slow regrowth
Sprays could be harmful, especially harmful to spray near the creek
minimally harmful herbicides to be able to spend more time planting trees

driveway grass being regrown with sowed seeds
they would be native grass seeds
the illawarra flame trees replanted at entrance of firestone sanctuary :) :)
bottlebrush trees

Ecologists reccommend local seed collection to help native trees n grasses germinate. Because the trees n grasses are grown in local areas

We all love planting trees :)

Cutting grass is hard work

Friday timotheos n emily are going to kumbartcho seed collecting workshop

The first revegetation project will be a weekend in april

Saturday clearing creek of invasive plants, brush cutters will be helpful

9th 10th april proposal

Sunday planting native trees

9th 10th may be too soon for dylans work leave n too soon for laras return

Making the work bee on a later weekend will be helpful for friends to make it

Easter weekend might be wonderful

Posting proposal for easter weekend work bee on discord

Timotheos and jay making tool list for work bee preparation

Prepare water pump for watering plants we plant by the creek

Check if we have enough hose length to reach revegetation zones

Ibc gravity feeds water to plants, but it would be more difficult to move the ibc tanks to a high enough space

Emily has therapy appointment this afternoon

Anxiety sucks but we aren't alone

Dylan needs a snake bite kit, medicine kit in his home
