With the weekend filling up, I only had a few hours for this week’s working bee. I had grandiose plans of clearing the track upto Site A and then doing most of Site A but that was just dreaming I had realised after an hour or so. Still I was happy to give some native plants some clearance from the fishbone fern.
I spent some time again on the track coming up from Second fall. It is a mess but if I remember back to what I started with, I can be happy at how its going. Whenever some space is made in the fishbone fern, the natives use the opportunity to get started.
Before I started…

The smaller sandpaper figs should get a boost from this. There was also some other species of trees which I believe are native but I am yet to identify them with certainty.
This amount of clearing took about an hour to do. At that pace I should be able to get a sizable chunk of Site A done if I can get a 3-4 hr session done.
