BUSH FOR LIFE
I
t was thrilling to get back out to our Bush For Life sites once COVID-19 restrictions lifted. We were equally excited to see strong interest from the wider community, with many of our bushcare workshops and Bush Action Team days booking out almost immediately. The Bush For Life team has been busy with many other activities, including bushfire recovery planting events for Cudlee Creek bushfire affected landholders. Volunteers, like Henry (pictured above) and Bush For Life staff visited fire affected properties to plant native seedlings carefully grown in direct response to the bushfires by other volunteers over the summer. It has been a rewarding experience for our volunteers and staff, and a cathartic activity for landholders who lost so much. Although we don’t have any dates listed in this edition of ReLeaf, our Bush Action Team days will continue through October to the end of the year, so please keep an eye on our website for future dates and locations. Thank you to all our volunteers for your patience and understanding.
