20.01.2022 ' ? Tomorrow is planting day! Members of the SRBG will gather and plant a selection of native plants in the newly built 'planter boxes'. Work began through the week with Evan Gobell delivering and spreading approximately 2.5T to cover the drainage channel to help stabilise it and minimise erosion. So next time you are driving along Seppeltsfield Road you will notice a sea of grow guards in place of the bunting. We then welcome you to stop, walk and take in 'new' view.

19.01.2022 Back in February, we took a field trip to Don Helbig's Liebig Road Block which runs of Seppeltsfield Road. Don has spent many years working to preserve this amazing block of remnant scrub. Don treated us to a deeply informative tour as he shared his local knowledge enabling us to understand a little more about our local indigenous plant species.

01.01.2022 Our second field trip hosted by one of our members Evan Gobell. Evan showed us the very inspiring native plantings he has rolled out over the passed 5 years. He has created many tranquil spots for visitors to the Cottages to wander through while preserving the land for the future. Pop over to Stonewell Cottages & Vineyards page to read more about their revegetation projects and the increase in native wildlife to the property they have recorded.
