Friends of the Earth has regular field trip 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 worktrips happen at the test site in the Wombat Forests, managed by Djaara (just south of Daylesford, near Leonards Hill).

We generally do physical restoration work, such as cutting out gorse, so we ask people wear suitable clothing and bring gloves and hand tools if you have them.

They are currently happening monthly from 11:00 to 14:00 on the fourth Friday of the month, with the next one happening on Fri Sep 26. (Note this month is slightly shorter, with an 11am start). Yes, this day is a public holiday.

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 rsvp for the event we will send through full details on what to bring the week before the event).
