| The group has a history of
working with the local community including local landholders and the
Sandy Creek primary School. Over the last 12 months the group has had a significant impact on weeds such as Boneseed, Olive Trees, and Bridal Creeper. The Friends currently have funding for additional weed control.

| One of the important ongoing activities
is the ongoing education of our members. Knowledge is passed
on from the more experienced members and the Park
Rangers. Training visits from professional botanists have been provided through grants. Recently Bob Bates, "Orchid Authority", led us on a walk around the park. Much was learnt and many a photo was taken. Some images are in the gallery. A big thank you to Bob!! |

| To support these activities Sandy Creek Friends undertake related training as opportunities arise. In the past Friends have attended the following courses: |
