Almanda Open Day

Continuing our group’s 30th anniversary celebrations, we will be running our annual Almanda Open Day on Sunday 15th November, followed by our AGM on Tuesday 17th. In addition to the usual self-guided walk along Almanda Creek, with guides provided with a gold coin donation, John Wamsley will again be giving a couple of talks for those, interested in hearing from the Prime Minister’s 2003 Environmentalist of the Year, about his passion for biodiversity.

This is the seventh year of our ten year Almanda Project, restoring the creeklines and woodland areas across the 720 hectares of Scott Creek Conservation Park. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary caring for the Park, join us at our annual open day at our showcase Almanda Creek site.

Our volunteers have changed this blackberry-choked creekline to a biodiverse wonderland, full of rare wetland plants and seasonal wildflowers and the numerous wildlife species that live there. Collect a printed guide for a gold coin donation and follow the bush track in a one hour loop alongside Almanda Creek and back through the grassy woodland next to it. The guide provides information about many of the plants and other interesting features that are labelled alongside the track.

Being very mindful of the continuing shadow of COVID-19 hanging over us all, we are using Eventbrite for our Open Day, so that we can limit the numbers of people coming along, whilst also having attendees’ details from their registration, for future tracing if necessary. 

It continues to be rather strange, the restrictions and rules we need to put in place to keep everyone safe. If you are interested in attending the Open Day, please go to the Eventbrite page using the following link https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/almanda-open-day-tickets-124047634815. COVID-19 restrictions and protocols are listed on the registration page.

Registration of each attendee's details is essential to join this event.

Free event, but please bring a gold coin donation for the printed guide for the walk, which you get to keep.
