Join Conservation Volunteers Australia at Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve to help restore the last remaining stand of coastal woodland on the Bellarine Peninsula. We're teaming up with Parks Victoria for a day of woody weed extraction, followed by morning tea and the chance to explore and survey the stunning flora and fauna of the reserve.
The Two Bays Lookout provides visitors with breath taking views of both Port Phillip and Swan Bay, where you can discover remote beaches that are home to resident and migratory wader birds. The reserve is a Ramsar site and an international flyway, making it an incredibly significant location to protect and conserve.
Look forward to seeing you there!
FOEP Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve St Leonards Weeding group activity 14 March
2023
The Friends of Edward Point Reserve are eagerly looking forward to starting
our weeding activities for 2023 and would be delighted if you could join us. We
made great inroads focusing on the Western Sector in 2022 but there is a lot
more to do.
We’re stating our 2023 weeding, removing Fleabane from the Western Block.
Fleabane grows, flowers and seeds over summer so it needs our urgent attention.
It’s also a great weed to start off with because it is easy to remove, even if
the soil is dry.
We're meeting at the Dune St entrance at 9.30am,
but if it is consistently raining or is too hot (30+%), then
we will cancel the weeding activity.
What to Bring
Gloves - We can provide you with gloves if you don't have any or forget to
bring them.
Hat
Appropriate comfortable shoes, or gumboots if it has been raining.
Sensible and appropriate clothes, preferably long sleeves, and pants (more
protection from the sun).
Even though it's early Autumn we still need to be mindful of UV so bring
sunscreen and insect repellent - we will also provide these, but you may prefer
to use your own.
Any personal medicine you may think you might need - we will have a first
aid kit with us.
Your own water.
Please note, all children under 18 must be accompanied by a
responsible adult
If are are intending to join us we would really appreciate it if you could
either email or phone to let us know. If you do, we will be able to contact you
and let you know if the activity has been cancelled.

This is probably our last chance to remove more Flax Leaf Broom before it starts seeding. If you are free this Tuesday and would like to help us potentially stop tens of thousands of Broom seedlings germinating next year, you will be very welcome to join us.
The plan is to meet at the Dune St. entrance to the western block.
The work is not strenuous, and there are no expectations on you to do more than you feel up to do, and there is no pressure to stay for the whole session.
I have listed the weeding session details below however, if it is consistently raining then we will cancel the weeding activity.
As we are working on a Parks Victoria’s estate, we are required to meet the following conditions.
Registering on Park Connect
