The meeting with National Parks and Wildlife Service is always enjoyable and this year the group weeded previous plantings and freed those that had grown outside their guards.

Numerous bags of fireweed were removed and a welcome morning tea was provided by NPWS ranger Kathryn Brown.

The September meeting saw members enjoying the warm sunshine while planting another 28 seedlings, including some new species such as myrsine howitteana and myoporum acuminatum.

This brings the total number of plants to over 500, with 22 different species of plants.

Time was also spent weeding and freeing previous plantings from their plastic guards and some agapanthus were also removed.

"If residents have agapanthus growing in their yard, please remove the dead flowers before seeds form, to protect our native bush from weed infestations,” group member Karen Joynes said.

“Garden escapees such agapanthus and polygala are justifiable concerns for groups trying to maintain coastal habitats.

“Our attendance numbers vary, but for a small group, we feel we are making a positive difference to the Cuttagee Point environment.

“We also appreciate the support from Bega Valley Shire Council in providing plants, and spraying the kikuyu to make planting easier and more successful.”
