QUESTIONS

What to wear:

Comfortable gardening clothes, sunscreen, sturdy boots or wellingtons for wet weather.

What to bring: Sustenance! Please bring your own water, morning/afternoon tea or lunch.

Tools: These popular gardening tools are essential for bushwork-- gloves, secateurs and small digging tools. Other favourites are loppers, picks and pruning saws.

Fire Danger Season:

Some of the Reserves are closed to public access during the prescribed Fire Danger Season, usually 1st December to 30th April each year, though this may be varied by the CFS depending on seasonal conditions.

Unless automatically cancelled in the event of a Total Fire Ban day and certainly on a declared Catastrophic Fire Index day, Volunteer Working Bees scheduled during the Fire Danger Season will proceed.

Any queries in this regard may be directed to the Natural Heritage Manager on 8202 9216 or 0400 294 125

Please ring the appropriate coordinator if it is very inclement or over 350 C. If unable to contact the co-ordinator, call the Natural Heritage Manager on 8202 9216 or 0400 294 125
