Meeting Agenda 2011

The Group will aim to meet bi-monthly to track works agenda progress and discuss issues that may arise. Meeting dates will be advised. These can take place immediately after each working bee above.

Get Involved!
A number of local residents who were concerned about preserving and rehabilitating reserves in the Campbelltown area came together in 1994 to form the Campbelltown Landcare Group. From those small beginnings we are now an incorporated body of interested members, numbering around 25. With the support of the Campbelltown City Council, this group has put together a program of practical hands-on Landcare projects

within the Campbelltown Council boundaries.

In coming months the groups members will be undertaking planting of local native species, weed control and track maintenance in Wadmore Park. All local residents are invited to come along and join us - come for the morning or just an hour whatever suits you! Members of the Campbelltown Landcare Group will be on site each day from 9.00am to noon, unless otherwise specified. Come along between those times if you would like to take part. You will need to wear suitable work clothes and bring work gloves, hat, strong footwear, sun block a drink and waterproof clothing.

Tools and plants will be supplied by the group, funded in previous years by our sponsors, Campbelltown City Council, Our Patch Program, in conjunction with Landcare Australia. Please come along and Plant native seedlings to rehabilitate local reserves & riparian zones of local creeks Learn to recognise and identify native plants Learn about the environment - the problems and what you can do to help! Help to preserve our local heritage for our children Share your knowledge with others The group also holds several evening meetings per year at members homes in the Campbelltown area and everyone is welcome to attend. The project agenda for 2011 may be subject to change, due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. For example, seed collection times and weed control are dictated weather and may need to be planned just before the activity.
