IN the last two Saturdays, Perdrisat Road, between Maude and Lethbridge has seen green action.<\/p>\n

Nineteen Maude Landcare volunteers worked to plant 120 native trees and shrubs, clear weeds including gorse, mow, whipper snip and remove litter at the Spiller\u2019s Bridge reserve by the Moorabool River.<\/p>\n

Laura Hollingsworth, secretary, said her Landcare group has been chipping away at the area for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally, on the Maude side of the river, and then we did a couple of plantings last year on the Lethbridge side, slowly bringing it together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the trees didn\u2019t survive last year\u2019s planting. We went through last week and replaced some of those, adding a few more on the Maude side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maude Landcare\u2019s aim\u2019s to create a native-dense area, linking each side of the waterway.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to improve the biodiversity down along that stretch. There\u2019s a lot of farming properties around there with pests like rabbits and foxes, so we want to create a protective zone for wildlife, particularly birdlife along there,\u201d Mrs Hollingsworth said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also a component of making it a nice spot for people to visit. We do have people camping there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Always seeking volunteers, Maude Landcare asks for expressions of interest to be made directly to Mrs Hollingsworth via maudeanddistrictlandcare@gmail.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good time at the moment, while we\u2019re not going out because of COVID-19, to focus on your own garden, and look into indigenous species that grow well in our area,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
