Volunteer weekends at Mount Kerang

This winter Bush Heritage Australia (BHA) is organising another series of working bees at their property at Mt Kerang to the NorthWest of Wedderburn. Teams of up to 5 volunteers per weekend will be tackling weeds, fence out rare plants and assist in the rabbit control program. All materials are provided, but volunteers need to bring sturdy footwear, comfortable but warm clothing and their own food for the weekend. The first working bee will be on the weekend of the 26th of May, with further weekends in the following months all the way through till October. The reserve at Mount Kerang is called "Nardoo Hills" and is BHA's largest property in Victoria. It was purchased in 2004 and the continuing weed and rabbit control works there have already resulted in the discovery of a range of threatened plant species. The volunteer weekends are the best opportunity tovisit the reserve and see its special attractions.
