2024 Community Project
We are supporting the Everglades community bush program. Currently a group of local residents are doing the heavy work of weeding and removing years of bramble and other invasive weeds. They are making a walkway of beautiful natives and ferns. We hope to obtain a Blue Mountains Community grant for plants that need to be purchased. The strip is located across from Cherrydell on Everglades Avenue. Council have received our request and will make a decision by the end of June.
