SUMMARY:June 2026 working bee
DESCRIPTION:What a relief to finally receive yesterday’s rain\, with more forecast tomorrow. This moisture will give our young seedlings a much‑needed boost after a long dry spell\, and it will also soften the ground—perfect conditions for removing priority weeds at our upcoming working bee. \nThis will be our final working bee funded through the current Bega Valley Shire Council’s Community and Environmental Grant Program. This support has enabled us to engage our bush‑regeneration contractors—an essential part of BRAWL’s restoration efforts. We simply couldn’t achieve the scale of work we do without them. Our sincere thanks to Paddy\, Premjyoti and Jens for their skill\, commitment and care.   \nThis month we’ll be working at Site 3 in the Anabranch channel\, one of BRAWL’s earliest restoration areas. Before BRAWL’s erosion‑control works in 2011\, this site was undergoing major geomorphic change. Willows were choking the river channel\, joy-riders were destabilising sediments with cars\, and weed invasion and a loss of native vegetation left the banks exposed. Severe erosion followed\, worsened by floodwaters from the Brogo River being funnelled into the Anabranch by dense willow growth. \nEach flood event tore large holes in Bridge Street (now Jacksonia Grove)\, sometimes deep enough for a person to stand in\, requiring costly repairs. There was real concern that the main Bega River channel could divert into the Anabranch\, threatening downstream farmland\, sewerage infrastructure and bringing the river closer to the township. \nIn 2011\, BRAWL undertook major erosion‑control works using rock armouring\, erosion matting and extensive native revegetation. These efforts have been highly successful in stabilising the channel and restoring ecological function. \nWe’ll return to this site at Monday’s working bee to remove invasive weeds and plant lomandras to continue strengthening the riverbank. \nWhen: Monday 1st June\, 9.30-12.30pm\nWhat: Priority weed removal (inc privet\, madeira vine\, turkey rhubarb and wandering trad) and planting lomandras.\nWhere: Meet as the Anabranch picnic area (follow link to location:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/ehPfVbgiunp3X4WK8)\nBring: Drink bottle\, Garden gloves\, weed bags\, weeding tool\, rakes and secateurs (some tools will be provided).\nWear: Enclosed sturdy footwear\, sun hat and sun-smart clothing.\nMorning tea: is at 11am\, please bring something to share or to enjoy yourself.

SUMMARY:August 2026 working bee
DESCRIPTION:The cooler weather over the past few weeks has slowed the growth of many weeds and\, importantly\, recent frosts have significantly knocked back Wandering Trad. This makes it an ideal time to get out into the reserve and continue our efforts to reduce weed infestations. \n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\nWhen: Monday 3rd August\, 9.30-12.30pm\nWhat: Site 5 – Priority weed removal (inc privet (cut and paste)\, madeira vine\, turkey rhubarb\, periwinkle and boxthorn) and removal of lower branches from established plantings.\nWhere: Meet on Jacksonia Grove\, near the Old Bega Racecourse end (follow link to location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gUGZj6B5rzajKUU99)\nBring: Drink bottle\, Garden gloves\, weed bags\, weeding tool\, rakes and secateurs (some tools will be provided).\nWear: Enclosed sturdy footwear\, sun hat and sun-smart clothing.\nMorning tea: is at 11am\, please bring something to share or to enjoy yourself. \n\n\nThis event is funded through the Bega Valley Shire Council’s Community and Environmental Grants.

SUMMARY:September 2026 working bee
DESCRIPTION:Spring is in the air\, and the warmer weather has certainly arrived. Our next working bee is coming up this Monday\, and we will be moving upstream to Site 4\, adjacent to Site 5\, where we worked during our last working bee. Our focus will be on controlling priority weeds and pruning the lower limbs of plantings to help reduce the build-up of fuel loads. \nIn February 2027\, we hope to be planting replacement seedlings across Sites 4 and 5 (rainfall permitting). These new plantings will increase the diversity of species within our restoration areas. While the original revegetation efforts focused mainly on canopy species\, these additional plantings will strengthen and diversify the shrub layer. With the canopy now more established\, it will provide shelter and protection for these new seedlings\, improving their chances of long-term success and improving the habitat value of our sites. \nThe fantastic ranger team from the Bega Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) has been working across a range of sites along the Bega River this week. As part of their efforts\, they have targeted privet seedlings in and around Sites 4 and 5. This work will make an enormous contribution to our rehabilitation program\, allowing us to concentrate our efforts on other priority weeds. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Bega LALC ranger group for their valuable contribution to the restoration of the Bega River. \nHave you ever wondered how BRAWL plans its working bees? Our rehabilitation activities are guided by BRAWL’s Maintenance Strategy. \n\n\nDetails of our next working bee are as follows:\n\n\nWhen: Monday 7th September: 9.30 – 12.30pm\nWhat: Site 5 – Priority weed removal – privet\, turkey rhubarb\, cape ivy\, madeira vine\, noogoora burr and removal of lower branches from established plantings.\nWhere: Meet on Jacksonia Grove\, halfway between the Old Bega Racecourse end and the Anabranch picnic area (follow link to location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8FBvqdHNvkhGCZjS7)\nBring: Drink bottle\, garden gloves\, weed bags\, weeding tool\, and secateurs (some tools will be provided).\nWear: Enclosed sturdy footwear\, sun hat and sun-smart clothing.\nMorning tea: is at 11am\, please bring something to share or to enjoy yourself.\n\nThis BRAWL working bee is supported through the Bega Valley Shire Council’s  Community and Environment Grants.
