Let the Clean-up Begin!


Setting to work!




After a few hours of both of us working. There is still a great deal to go, but a strong start.




One of the Native Fern Trees being freed from Cape Ivy. This is a Rough Bark Fern Tree.

Below: Serious corm removal of Montbretia. This is a serious bush invader, classified as a Noxious Weed. Each plant can bear a string of corms numbering 14 or more. Each corm is capable of producing another plant. You can see, also, where not only does it literally choke out the soil, but also will infest itself under trees and rot them. The blue bucket was completely full from clearing a square meter.
