Briefing Vicki - our new bushcare officer

Vicki joined Kim and myself to tour the bushland on Sunday afternoon and discuss management issues.

Points of discussion (see map below):

1. Geraldton Carnation Weed - still lots of plants visible, beginning to go to seed - Friends of Shenton Bushland (FoSB) to continue work in this area (Nedlands to help with Greencorps if possible).

2. Watsonia - a few plants still coming up - FoSB will need to work here also

3. Black flag trial - City of Nedlands need to liaise with Kate to make sure we do not affect Kate's work here.

4. Fire break along Health Department Land - FoSB need to contact Health Department to organise

5. Lachenalia Trial - FoSB and Nedlands need to liaise with Kate about the status of this trial

6. Plantings - Lots of Lupins infesting planting area - good for garden mulch - Dani to come and collect them soon.

7. Barrens - Nedlands needs to spray - FoSB to link up with UWA researcher to make sure project is not affected by spraying

Item 4 (fire break) - have contacted Ian Matthews (Health Department) - he has organised for the fire break to be raked to remove plants.

Item 7 (spraying barrens) - Vicki has been in contact with researcher (Lori Larch) - organised to have the trees marked to protect them during spraying of the barrens.
