What's happening this month?

Can you help? Your membership is highly valued Community nursery at Yellingbo

1 March sees membership renewal time at the Friends. Your membership is valued. If you're not a member, please consider it. A strong membership provides the committee with a strong voice, and this makes it easier when assistance is sought to improve the habitat for all wild life.

In need of... nursery benches 

If you can spare an extra dollar or two, community and member donations this year will go toward nursery benches. With 80,000 tubestock required annually in order to meet our orders and community sales, our volunteers need an efficient and safe workplace. We wish to purchase up to 20 benches ($270 each) to raise all plants off the ground to limit the amount of bending and lifting required as well as assisting us to maintain healthy plant stock. Any donation toward the benches will be greatly appreciated.

On 10 March, we celebrate the 41st anniversary of the Helmeted Honeyeater being proclaimed Victoria's state avi-faunal (bird) emblem. Sadly, in 2012, the population at Yellingbo is the only naturally occurring population on the planet. This season has seen the best breeding success at Yellingbo for many years. What other special plants and animals share this area? Just some of them are described here
