Seed Bombing for Bush Regeneration
Past Event
On Monday, 23 April 2018, Bush Skills 4 Youth (BS4Y) will join the Friends of Nyaania Creek (FONC) for a workshop to continue the Woodland Restoration Project. This workshop will aim to sow the seeds to regenerate the understorey plants under the now established trees.
Date and Time: Monday, 23 April 2018, 9:30am to 12:30pm
Location: Glen Forrest Superblock, Sealey Road, Glen Forrest
Suitable for: Families with children aged 7-12 years of age
What to bring: Hat, water bottle, enclosed shoes, long pants recommended - Morning tea provided
Explore the forest and learn about the importance of zones. Take the plant diversity challenge and learn why this is important for the animals who live there. Look closely at seeds and make bombs to help them grow. This workshop is part of the ongoing project coordinated by Friends of Nyannia Creek, working with BS4Y and Millennium Kids Hills Youth Environment Group (MKHYEG), to ensure that projects in the Glen Forrest Superblock are monitored and future work can be strategically planned.
The aim of the Seed Bombing Workshop is to grow food and habitat plants to cater for the range of animal species that live in the bushland near the restoration project and encourage them to use the nest boxes. This project is supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.
