The Rennick site was sown in 2006 , a Geoff Boyes DPI project . Erica collected the seed and treated it just prior to seeding. This large 5 ha site had been completely herbicided. The seed was sowed along contour lines in curvy patterns . The soil was damp and slippery along the watercourse edges.
In 2009 we revisited the site with Jude & Deb from DPI . Things were looking good with a wide range of species growing . Eucalyptus & Acacia. ( we did find a few weeds - cootamundah wattles )
In 2010 Jim and I checked the site again . Some species had died because of the extremely wet season - mainly golden wattles. Silver wattles and blackwoods were flourishing .A very successful site , looks natural & excellent habitat values.
