Millie digs into the science of controlling gazanias, a serious environmental weed.
The Ocean Grove Coastcare weekday weeders were delighted to host Rip Curl employees from Torquay for their annual Planet Day.
The Rip Curl crew happily joined OGCC volunteers in tackling Euphorbia terracina (False caper spurge), a particularly nasty invasive weed that has spread into Bukareeyoo.
They brought such infectious energy and enthusiasm that the morning flew by.
A big thank you to Brett and Baylea from Barwon Coast and the Rip Curl team for getting stuck in and helping us to protect our precious coastal environment!
We filled over 36 bags with Spurge and rubbish!
(Established in 2000, by Rip Curl Torquay, Rip Curl Planet Day is an annual company-wide initiative where staff trade their desks for local environmental conservation work.
The Planet Day initiative has expanded beyond Australia to include Rip Curl teams in the USA (California), France (Hossegor), Indonesia (Bali), and Brazil (Sao Paulo).)
Ocean Grove Coastcare meet and work on the lands of the Wadawurrung people and we wish to acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners of this land. We recognise their continued connection to land, water, and community and we pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging.
