Group Convenor: Bruce Gray
The Greening Dawn Street Bushcare Group is located in the Dawn Street Park on the boundary of Ashgrove and Bardon on Ithaca Creek.
This group was formed in 2010, as part of the Ithaca Intact Project, by Adam Richardt and experienced bush carers from other sites and members of the Australian Greens. Activities include weeding, mulching, and planting by local residents and volunteers rehabilitating a section of Ithaca Creek. The ultimate aim is the removal of invasive weeds, principally Madeira vine Anredera cordifolia, Singapore daisy Sphagneticola trilobata and cane grass Pennisetum purpureum, with replacement by plantings of local provenance.
Working bees are held on Sundays after the third Wednesday of the month from 9 – 11 am.
This bushcare site is supported by the Brisbane City Council Habitat Brisbane program. For more information, please contact Bruce Gray at graybrw@optusnet.com.au or on 0417 195 464.
