Storm Goretti Recovery Update

We are now down to the last 4 big Bishop's Pine to be felled. This pile of logs are down the boundary at the Community Tree Nursery which is finally accessible again and the team can move in again, weed the beds and get this year's native tree saplings planted.

We can say that we actually the newly revealed native tree boundary to the North West side of the Community Tree Nursery is actually quite nice!! The elder there has flowered and we have harvested the flowers for cordial.

We're going to see if we can get a mobile saw mill onto site to convert some of this timber into shingle for pagoda roof repairs and pieces of outdoor furniture.

Our maintenance team did a fantastic job of putting the broken fence back up together - we're rabbit proof again now and a new top rail has gone back in since this photo was taken.

We still have a lot to do and if you have donated, but can share with someone else who you think may be able to help, please do share the link below with them. Thank you!


Our now, almost resident, tree surgeon Paul Groves has been on site regularly over the last 10 days and we have also had an incredibly generous offer of help to have a team of arborists on site for a day - this is a massive support to us and will save us a huge amount of money. Thank you.
