More Fences and 'Up the Creek'!

Monday - We started the week at the Mount Pleasant Catchment Centre where we watched a DVD on fencing in the environment and completed the Fencing Module. We also edited several of the photographs that we had taken and renamed them appropriately. We finished the day by cleaning various areas in the Catchment centre.

Tuesday - We met with Stephen Anderson at the Torrens Catchment Nursery and worked in the tunnel houses. Work included cleaning, weeding and grading seedlings.

Tree Planting

Wednesday - We met with Rod McBeath, Adelaide Hills Council and Gerry Butler at the Mt. Torrens C.F.S. We began construction work on the Erosion Fences in the creek line.

Thursday - Completed work on Erosion Fence at C.F.S. Gerry Butler gave us a workshop on the theory of Erosion Fencing and Construction. We began work on another fence at the Wright property.

Friday - Research Day.
