You're warmly invited to join us for a special workshop titled "A Reserve in My Backyard" tailored specifically for local residents residing near the Seven Hills bushland reserve. This workshop is designed to explore ways of being a good bushland neighbour and offer practical advice on maintaining your backyard in harmony with the Seven Hills Bushland Reserve.
The workshop will cover strategies on managing backyards so that weeds don't escape. As well as strategies to attract native wildlife to your bit of the bush. If you want to establish habitat in your gargen, we'll introduce you to local native plants and show you how to acquire and grow them. We'll also discuss fire safety and bushcare activities in the reserve.
The workshop is a joint initiative of local residents, Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee (B4C) and Brisbane City Council.
We'll supply morning tea, free native plants and information. There is no cost, but you must book a place as numbers are strictly limited.
