Friends Groups   
INVITATION TO JOIN THE FRIENDS
GROUPS
September 2007
Dear Resident and Friends
As you roam the paths through the local bushland and dunes,
you may have noticed the proliferation of environmental weeds in some areas, and
thought “something needs to be done about them”
As environmental weed control in our national parks and
reserves is low on the pecking order of government funding, the Nepean
Conservation Group has formed Friends groups which get their hands dirty and
tackle the problem.
There are 2 groups in this area, the Friends of Sid Baker
Reserve and Friends of E.G. Ritchie Reserve. Maybe you would like to
become involved with one, or both of these? We’d love to meet you. The more the
merrier!! You only need old clothes, gardening gloves, maybe a trowel and lots
of enthusiasm.
Friends of Sid Baker Reserve meet on the 3rd Sunday every
second month from 10am -12 noon
On Sunday 16th
September 2007 they will be holding a planting morning, and everyone is
welcome to join them.
Meet at 10am
at the Dana Avenue entrance to the Sid Baker Reserve.
The November work party is on Sunday 18th November 2007
