    Regular work parties through 2025 have significantly reduced the invasive weeds around Gerry's Rock. This means our supply of herbicide gel for the barberry needs replenishing. Thanks to all our volunteers who help with the work on the ground. If you can contribute to our costs that would be much appreciated!

    A great start was made to the restoration project when about 20 volunteers began the work on Gerry's Rock. The work mainly involved cutting barberry and broom at ground level and treating each stump with small amounts of gel herbicide. Each herbicide applicator contains 400 mL of gel which costs about $30, the main Trust expenditure of donations sought.
