Dear {usertag:name}

Please welcome new member Glenda Chadwick to the Environment Subgroup. Glenda is Secretary of Men of the Trees QLD. This group makes a very significant contribution locally in The Grove with their regular plantings and maintenance here. MOTT Qld is a bush care group and was established in Brisbane in the early 1980s. The group have endeavoured to have a planting or maintenance activity each Saturday.  Sometimes there is a social day instead. Look out for their events in our Community Calendar.

Tonight there is a seminar at Downfall Creek as part of the BCC’s Northern Seminar Series. This one is on three dangerous pests – myrtle rust fire ants and crazy ants. The guest speaker is Wayne Roberts a Community Engagement Officer with Biosecurity Queensland (BQ) based at Oxley’s BQ Control Centre. Since 2001 Wayne has worked mainly on the National Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program but also has experience with the recent Myrtle Rust outbreak.These seminars are always top quality and a great group of people Look out for future ones – Anna Bourke sends us details and we put them in the Community Calendar.

Would you like to be shown how to use the website tools on Transition The Grove’s website to help you announce your events share what your group is doing locally and meet others who share your interests? I’m happy to spend some time with individuals or groups helping them do this. John has put together a great set of tools that we can all use to make communication simple and virtually free within our local community.

Just drop us an email at administrator@transitionthegrove.org.au to arrange a time.

Warm regards

Anne Tennock

Subgroup Coordinator
