Friends of Mosman Park Bushland

Join us for the National B

This coincides with our local annual “STOMP” event which will see 100 youngsters race around Mosman Park to check out the local community groups. That’s us!

To pass our check point they’ll need to identify weedy Euphorbia terracina growing amongst our natives in Gnarangup Park and pull out at least five plants. That means we can concentrate on other weeds.

This Euphorbia is the tall yellowy plant poking out of the native clump of sedges in the photo. It’s seeds will keep germinating up to 20 years after the plant is removed. This is a good one to show the next generation! A good one to remove now before seeds form.

Meet at the small gate around the bushland off Fairbairn street! See attachment!

Chance of rain forecasted! Wear old clothes suitable for bush work and weather prediction! Water bottle, closed  shoes and hat advisable!

Morning tea, tools and gloves supplied!

Would love some help with 300 infill plants at Mosman Beach on Sunday 26^th June!

Tools and morning tea provided!

In March we removed weeds to make way for these planting! Already our previous plantings have grown sufficiently to attract birds and other wildlife!

Volunteers required to clear some weeds and fill the spot with some of the seeds we and Rocky Bay Rec Connect have been sorting through.

We’ll be working on the east side of the fenced area at Minim Cove Park! Walk from Fairbairn or Stone street to the big gate! You may get lost as the bush trail is now almost unrecognisable one year on from our island plantings.

The sorted seeds have been in my fridge away from critters who make them a meal. May will be a perfect time to reintroduce the seeds. Most native plant seeds like to get really wet before they germinate. With the right temperature and moisture they germinate. APACE nursery use every trick in the book to get seeds to germinate.

Tools and morning tea provided! Wear comfortable old clothes for bush work!

Head down to our beautiful Indian Ocean at Mosman Beach on Sunday morning from 9am to 11.30am for some maintenance of our coastal plantings!

A few hands can make the difference! Cool off afterwards by taking a dip!

Tools and morning tea provided! Don’t forget a water bottle and sun protection!

Meet at the northern end of our verge plantings at the back of the Montessori school carpark on Curtin Avenue! If you can see the bus café in the carpark you are close!

Come along to Mosman Beach from 8.30am to 11am Sunday morning for some weed removal and maintenance around our plantings. Cool off afterwards in the Indian Ocean!

Meet at the shelter to the south of Tim’s ghost bike on Curtin Avenue, south of Bee Hive Montessori school. Look for our sign on the fence!

Gloves, tools and morning tea provided!

Slip, slop, slap! Water bottle a must! Working in bush area shared by wildlife and scratchy plants so protective clothing advised!

Variegated blue wrens have done better than splendid blue wrens in Perth urban areas because they are more wary. Andrew Thompson from Mosman Park was ready waiting for this beautiful variegated male blue wren with his camera when he showed himself. You can help blue wrens survival by keeping your dogs and cats out of the bushland. How about growing low thick shrubs in your garden to protect these little birds
