Spencer Valley Landcare

Many people enjoy the beautiful Spencer Valley and will notice the native species that are returning. Through the continued effort of volunteers the Buffel is being maintained and native species are regenerating. The wildflowers are back and established trees are now protected from wildfire. Field days will be posted on this site and if you would like to come along please email us and we will link you in to field day notifications. A coordinator is needed for Spencer Valley if you are interested in the role of coordinator and preserving the valley please contact us...

Northside Landcare

Alice Springs Landcare held it's Clean Up Australia Day and Buffel Bust at Dixon park on Sunday 4 March, 2012. It was a lovely morning and the wet soil was perfect for weeding. We were pleased with the work done on the day. Quiet a few bags of rubbish were removed. Trees and shrubs had buffel removed from their base to assist their growth and protect them from fire. Some seedlings were planted and a good day was had by all. For more information and photos please go to the Northside page under landcare groups.

Town Todd Landcare

Town Todd Landcare area focuses on the banks of the river in the centre of town.  Initial work has been in buffel control from the Wills Terrace causeway to the Stott Terrace bridge.  Buffel and Couch Grass has been dug out, slashed and/or sprayed in a broad strip between the cycle/foot path and the river channel.  Small patches of couch remain but very little living buffel.  Hopefully this will protect all the river gums and shrubs, including a small patch of plum bush near the bridge, from being burned when the fire season starts.
