Same area August 2000 weeds cleared - Seedlings have been grown from seed collected on the property, the weeds have been cleared the area re-planted.

Re planting the "Big Gum" paddock
Sue Heysen tree planting 1988. Our first major planting day was in 1988 in a paddock previously used by cattle and set aside by the Heysen family for re-vegetation
Planting day 2000. Brian and Gwenyth Young have supported our tree planting days for many years.
Nine years later. The paddock has now been completely re-vegetated with local native trees and shrubs
