The latest mother of Millions (MoM) working bee along The Boulevarde at Winda Woppa was our first truly hot session of the season, with the temperature making itself felt well before we finished at 10am.
Many volunteers arrived before 9am in an attempt to beat the heat. Although most of our work was carried out in the shade of the coastal bush, it was still a warm morning — enough to have some of us wishing we had our swimmers on underneath our work gear!
A group of 12 volunteers worked in the last and second-last quadrants of the beachside bushland near the Fishermans Walk intersection. Our main target was mother of millions, with some bitou bush and agave species also removed and bagged. The asparagus fern was largely left alone for another day, although a few plants apparently proved too tempting to resist!
We were pleased to welcome two new volunteers, Natalie Murray and her Mum, Sandra Brooks. Their enthusiasm and willingness to get stuck in were warmly welcomed by the group.
After an hour and a half of hard work, the team had amassed another 25+ bags of mother of millions — a fantastic effort and another important step towards reducing this invasive weed in the area.
Final working bee for 2026Our next and final scheduled Saturday working bee for the year will be held on Saturday 17 October, brought forward by a week to avoid clashing with the Pindimar Markets.
There may also be a small ‘commando’ sortie before then, so watch this space!
A huge thank you to everyone who turned up, particularly those who braved the heat. Every bag removed makes a difference, and the ongoing commitment of our volunteers is helping to restore and protect this valuable coastal habitat.
