Even at the end of the wettest winter for years, the clay bank behind the Riversdale Road shops carpark was surprisingly dry, but got a good soaking with 11 mm rain a few days later.    This  Sunday 26 September,  we’ll plant more seedlings in a more hospitable site, near the creek below Union Road. Join us from 10 am, wearing suitable clothes including sturdy footwear, workgloves and sunhat. Bring a raincoat in case of foreca

Welcome to the post election edition of FSSP news, written as we still don’t know whether South Surrey Park will be moving forward, sideways, or backwards, or standing up for real action against great big new taxes, wasteful debts, and flotillas of boats full of illegals heading up Back Creek towards Surrey Hills. On Sunday 25 July eleven volunteers, including two children, enjoyed another cool start for a very productive morning. We planted about 850 seedlings, generously donated by the City of Boroondara, to extend the National Tree Day plantation below the Scout Hall. Local state politician and regular volunteer Rob Clark brought along Josh Frydenberg, Liberal candidate for the federal seat of Kooyong, who also worked very hard. Congratulations to Josh for a convincing victory on Saturday, and we look forward to working with him as our local member. This Sunday 29 August we’ve got about 1000 seedlings to extend the existing plantation behind the Riversdale Road shops. Join us fr
