FOG has planned a special event for this Sunday April 10, with bus transport
and a light lunch to be provided by Greening Australia. This rare event is
likely to be of great interest to people from Environment ACT.
If people are interested, they should contact Geoff Robertson before Friday
if possible as we need to know numbers for catering purposes. Geoff can be
contacted on: 6241 4065 or

The trip will be lead by Lori Gould and Susie Wilson who have excellent
credentials in restoration techniques. This will be an ideal opportunity to
visit burnt out areas, to assess what regeneration is naturally occurring,
what areas are being revegetated with indigenous plants, and what areas are
being replanted with pines. The details of the trip are:
>
SUN 10 APRIL 9AM to 2:00PM Greening Australia free bus tour and barbeque at
Cotter.
Lori Gould and Susie Wilson will show FOG members and others the restoration
work being undertaken around Pierces and Dry Creeks following the January
2003 fire. It is planned to visit Holden's Creek, Mount McDonald, and a
private lease. Greening Australia will provide plant lists for each site.

The Meeting point Kubura Place, Aranda at 9am, or along the way. Note: if we
