Recently, Victorian members helped remove weeds at Cassinia Environmental’s Glenarou property near Broadford, about an hour and a half north of Melbourne. Here is member Greg Gorfine’s reflection about the day:
Our task was to dig out the South African Weed Orchid (Disa bracteata), a highly invasive species that produces a huge number of seeds and compromises the growth of native plants such as lilies and other orchids.
Cool but sunny weather made for ideal conditions so we spread out across a sloping field and soon were meeting our ‘quotas’! It was hard work but an enjoyable day knowing that we were contributing to the rejuvenation of this piece of land.
