Weekly GroCentre Sessions

It’s Djeran and we are starting to plan planting sessions for the wet months. We also run weekly sessions at our Ascot nursery to keep all the plants healthy, propagate seeds, maintain the racks and prepare for future plantings. Come along and help out, learn skills and contribute new ones. Get in touch if this sounds like something you’d like to do. No need to commit every week.

Nature Conservancy
restoring habitats in Bassendean

The Nature Conservancy, with the assistance of BPG, has installed coir matting along part of the riverbank to restore habitat that will encourage the Black Pygmy Mussels to thrive again in the Derrbarl Yerrigan. Read more about this in post below. Opportunities will arise to monitor the matting as 1000s of tiny mussels spat begin to grow over the coming months.
