Volunteers and those with an interest in the project should attend. The presence of people supporting the landowners and community and funders groups is important to ensure recent gains continue to stay on track.
Bring family members and friends, and (a slightly more special than usual) afternoon tea! Don't forget your gloves, loppers, sickle and/or weed eater.
