Members of the Australian Conservation Foundation – Macnamara Chapter – are very good friends of Westgate Biodiversity, regularly pitching in at Westgate Park. On Saturday they pulled out a massive pile of weeds from a part of the Park alongside the Yarra River bank. It’s a section of the Park where our indigenous plant species are doing well so we were keen to stop the weeds taking over this lovely garden bed.

They also planted 250 grasses, Pelargoniums and Carpobrotus modestus – Pigface, where once were weeds. Rain this week should mean good survival rates.
