Outdoor Education Program and weeds removal at Goodmans Ford by Outbreak :

Outbreak recently ran an Outdoor Education Program for the Coverdale Christian School on Wollondilly River Station which was centred on li-loing on the river . The program was enhanced by the inclusion of a Landcare focus with the aim of educating the participants about issues associated with managing the catchment .
This was achieved primarily through the work of Brian and Ina who spoke to the students before they headed down the river in order that they might look out for weeds and important species , and who supervised some work that was carried out around Goodmans Ford in removing weeds from the river . Both the students and Outbreak instructors knowledge was greatly extended and we thank Brian and Ina . ( Letter from Tom Richards , Outbreak Program Director )

Thanks to the efforts of the students and their instructors a large patch of Water Primrose , an Aquatic weed which we started to remove at Christmas time , was finally pulled out near Goodmans Ford . The students also noted some more patches of this weed further down stream in the Wollondilly river during their Li-lo trip .
They also hand-pulled Negoora Burr and other noxious weeds along the river bank adjacent to Goodmans Ford .
We wish to thank them for their interest in Landcare and their Hands-On help .
Inspired through Brian , Outbreak might start their own Landcare Group and we will be glad to support their efforts .
