Highlights
- In total, 28 volunteers participated (24 GVGT volunteers) and contributed 57 volunteer hours (49 GVGT hours).
- 8 of our GVGT volunteers had never been to Uplands park before, while 16 had never removed Daphne before!
- We removed 5 cubic metres of invasive plants from an area measuring approximately 100 square metres!
What people shared about their experience
We’re keeping one of the few remaining pockets of native ecosystem safe from introduced invasive species, which is important (and it is a relief to know there are some of those pockets are still around)
