Friends of the Earth hosts regular field trips in the Wombat forest with representatives from the Galk-galk Dhelkunya (Forest Gardening) team of DJAARA. Our approach to their management of the Wombat is outlined here.

These work trips are a good chance to meet and chat with members of the team, ask questions about Djaara aspirations for the forest, and contribute some practical solidarity.

The work trips happen at the test site in the Wombat Forest, which is managed by DJAARA (just south of Daylesford, near Leonards Hill).

We generally do physical restoration work, such as weeding and cutting out gorse, so we ask people to wear suitable clothing and bring gloves and hand tools if you have them. The plan for this trip is to continue working on a section of gorse in a new area of the forest.

These trips generally happen monthly from 11:00 to 14:00 on the fourth Friday of the month, with the next one happening on Fri July 31. 

Meet: at 10.50am, at Sailors Falls Mineral Spring (2440 Ballan-Daylesford Road, Sailors Falls Victoria 3461) where there are public toilets, before driving on to the near by test site.

If you are running late please text Cam: 0419 338 047, so we can let you know where we are. The test site is about a 5 minute drive from Sailors Falls.

Please RSVP & we will send through full details on what to bring the week before the event.
