Hi Bonogin Valley Bushcarers, It seems like a very long time since the last email, but we’re all set to go again this Saturday!

There will be new Covid-Safe procedures for the safety of all volunteers and staff that we will all need to adhere to. We will be going over these procedures on the day as well.

24.01.2022 The bees have been buzzing around the Macadamia Tetraphylla trees that are currently in full bloom. The tree is listed as vulnerable in Qld and we are lucky to have a few of these on site. You can help us plant trees and also learn more about these by joining us on Saturday October 3 8am-10am. Spaces are limited.

21.01.2022 This Saturday 6th October from 8am-10am at Davenport Park. (Cnr Parkmeadows Ct & Valleyview Ct, Bonogin, QLD 4213) Hi Bonogin Valley Bushcarers, Great day last month joining forces with Hinterland Regional Park and the Somerset School Sustainability Group with lots turning out to enjoy the morning planting trees. This Saturday we are going to plant another lot of Birdwing Butterfly Vines along the creek near the BBQ shelter until 9am so we'll meet in the carpark as usual.... Then at 9am-11am NaturallyGC are putting on a Fauna Forensics session (which just happens to be on the same day) and we are all invited to join in - it’s all about identifying native animals through tracks, scats and traces which is pretty handy to know. All the details are in this link: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/naturallygc-fauna-forensics It would be better to register for this beforehand if you can. There'll be morning tea as usual and don't forget your hat! Kathy (Volunteer Coordinator Bonogin Valley Bushcare Group)

19.01.2022 This Saturday 1st February from 8am-10am meeting at the Gardenia Dr end of the Davenport Park. (To get there, drive along Bonogin Rd past the shop, then next left at Gardenia Drive and follow to the end of the street. It is a very long street but the park is at the end). Hi Bonogin Valley Bushcarers, Seasons greetings and can you believe it’s the first week in February already! All has survived and thrived in the dry over Christmas due to the fantastic support works set up b...y Saraya. The plants are racing along now with the heat and moisture, and there were very few losses after the last planting which is quite a feat considering how dry things were getting. Hope you can make it and look forward to seeing you there, Kathy (Volunteer Coordinator Bonogin Valley Bushcare Group)

16.01.2022 Hi Bonogin Valley Bushcarers, Another great planting last month - we reached our target and planted all supplied! It was great to see the rain this week and the plants have all stood up to the dry conditions very well. ... Spring is arriving already and there's plenty of activity everywhere you look along the creek with many different species being spotteda few even joining us for morning tea last month sitting on the back of Nick's ute. This month we have decided to lend a hand and join forces with Hinterland Regional Park and the Somerset School Sustainability Group. They have a special community tree planting day organised for the long weekend. It will be a great opportunity to meet other members at Hinterland Regional Park and see what else is happening locally. Here are the details below for Hinterland Regional Park for this Saturday: 8am-10am Hinterland Regional Park Hardy’s Road, Mudgeeraba The planting is on the left hand side as you drive in with parking nearby. A Council car will identify the planting area. We encourage people to register for the event so we can notify if cancelled due to wet weather etc: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/mudgeeraba-community-planti Further details Join the Hinterland Regional Park Bushcare Group and the Somerset School Sustainability Group for a community tree planting day this Saturday September 1 at Hinterland Regional Park Mudgeeraba from 8am-10am. The 72 hectare Hinterland Regional Park has been transformed into a recreational space that provides habitat for over 158 bird species and a range of other native animals, including the endangered Richmond birdwing butterfly. This community tree planting event provides a unique opportunity for volunteers to learn about regeneration of our natural areas and to contribute to the ongoing restoration of the park. Suitable for all ages with further details provided upon registration https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/mudgeeraba-community-planti https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/mudgeeraba-community-planti It would be best to go straight to Hinterland Regional Park to meet, but there will be someone at Davenport Park to meet any who may not get this email. Hope to see you there, Kathy (Volunteer Coordinator Bonogin Valley Bushcare Group)

16.01.2022 Hi Bonogin Valley Bushcarers, Believe it or not, it’s our last one for the year!This month we’re going back to the Gardenia St end of the park. It looks amazing down there and all the recent rain has given everything a real kick start. We have about 300 trees to plant and conditions should be perfect so really hope to see you there. Drive to the end of Gardenia St (first left after the shop off Bonogin Rd) and park there as it is much easier to get to the site, and we’ll have... morning tea over there as well (someone will be at the Davenport Park carpark to let people know if they don’t get this email). It’s getting warmer so please remember to bring a hat and water. See you Saturday! Kathy (Volunteer Coordinator Bonogin Valley Bushcare Group) See more

15.01.2022 Our last bushcare day for the year is this Saturday from 8am at the end of Gardenia Street. Join us for a fun morning planting trees in the shade. It's easy work with the holes pre-dug and a water truck coming along.

14.01.2022 This Saturday 1st August from 8am-10am at Davenport Park. (Cnr Parkmeadows Ct & Valleyview Ct, Bonogin, QLD 4213) ... Hi Bonogin Valley Bushcarers, Great to be back and all planted in record time last month thanks to all who turned out! The rain last week was very welcome and it looks as though a bit of frost may have got to the new plants in the cold snap, but they look as though they should recover ok. There are also some unmistakable signes of spring with bright new growth appearing already. We are going to be working back over in the main park again to expand on the area we planted last month, so please meet up there after parking in the main Davenport Park carpark. We’ve got plenty of plants to go in and also plenty of weed mats so we may be able to put mats around some of the ones that missed out last time. The weather should be lovely, but please wear the usual covered shoes and bring a hat and water bottle. Any new or non regular members, PLEASE register via the link https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/105748043244/ to receive a map and a copy of GCCC Covid-Safe procedures. There will be Covid-Safe procedures for the safety of all volunteers and staff that we will all need to adhere to. We will be going over these procedures on the day as well.

13.01.2022 It's all hands on deck tomorrow from 8am-10am for more planting. Meeting at Davenport Park, end of Gardenia Street. Suitable for all ages just come along wearing enclosed shoes, hat and a drink bottle. Everything else is provided.

10.01.2022 Bonogin Valley Bushcare Group THIS SATURDAY 7th SEPTEMBER, meeting at the Gardenia Dr end of the Davenport Park. (To get there, drive along Bonogin Rd past the shop, then next left at Gardenia Drive and follow to the end of the street. It is a very long street but the park is at the end). Hi Bonogin Valley Bushcarers,... Happy Spring to all! Last month’s planting is holding up well despite the conditions and some of the previous plantings are showing bright new spring growth. The remaining Tobacco plants are providing some dappled shade and good perching for birds. There has been quite a bit of grazing damage to some of the plants in this area which is unusual for us, but most are surviving and will hopefully bounce back when there is some good rain. This month we are planting Richmond Birdwing Butterfly Vines throughout this area. They will do very well being planted in this hot dry spell povided they are watered in deeply at the time of planting. It will increase the diversity of this area so we’ll make the most of it as they are not always available. Even though it’s a lovely shady area, please wear your hat, covered shoes and usual working gear and bring some water to drink. There will be morning tea as always so hope to see you there, Kathy (Volunteer Coordinator Bonogin Valley Bushcare Group)
