Foresters Wood activity day
The Forestry Australia WA Branch would like to invite members, friends and family to participate in an activity day.
Location: Foresters Wood, Glenoran (20 km west of Manjimup)
Date: Saturday 7 October | Time: 9:30am
The activity day will include:
- Pruning
- Weed control and preparation for the fire season
- Burning heaps
- Thinning oak sapling thickets
Bring a picnic lunch and thermos, a few basic tools if you have them (pruning saw, rakehoe, small chainsaw if you have one) and personal protective equipment (gloves, boots, eye protection). This is a great opportunity to enjoy socialising in the outdoors while making a contribution to improving the ever-popular Foresters Wood. New members are particularly welcome. There are plenty of further local attractions in the Donnelly Valley area if you want to make a full weekend of your visit.
