First walk for the year, Spring Gully

15 March   A backyard view of Spring Gully   Carolyn Crowther 0407 214 049

This walk with a Spring Gully local, is an invitation to ask: what do we owe the place now? Find out the answers on this walk. We will follow kangaroo tracks through Box–ironbark forest, moving quietly and slowly to notice what’s living and growing here: the thin range of plants that persist, what’s being eaten, and the signs of animals passing through. We’ll also act on what we see – picking up any rubbish that can harm wildlife. Talking frankly about what protection looks like in practice. It’s a walk for people who love this place enough to protect it: to recognise harm, call it out, and help stop it. The walk takes a 5 km loop from Spring Gully Road that includes relatively untouched vegetation but still holds the detritus of generations.              

Meet at Community House, Templeton St Castlemaine at 9.30am or Spring Gully Mine carpark, Old Coach Road at 9.45am carpark
