Tuesday Toiler activities involve maintenance activities such as removing weeds from around native plants to encourage them to thrive or mulching to prepare sites for planting. Meet at the shed beside Scout Hall at 10.00am. 2023 working bees begin Tuesday 7th February unless it is very hot.

Coffee from Julian's Cafe usually follows this activity.

Working bee - planting near Delta Street 26 June 2016
