Peter organises working bees to eradicate weeds, to plant trees, build boardwalks and maintain these. The highlight this year was the new walking trail which now links up with the loop and joins the path from Lions Park through Germein Reserve to Dingley Dell, giving walkers the opportunity to enjoy first hand local Flora and Fauna.

800 trees were planted by the group at Keiselback Road to preserve pristine native vegetation. Peter invited Allendale East Area school children to come and plant trees and this was very successful. The children enjoyed the work.

With scientific advice from a member Peter organised a working bee to put up Bat Boxes in Germein Reserve to promote the species inhabiting the area.
