- Planting Program For Uworra Close - phase 2 is in progress with the planting of trees planted along Uworra Close and the planting of an area of nature strip at the bottom of the drive to number14. The planting is based on Rain Emerson's landscape plan but with some variation, such as comprehensive mulching, to sequester as much carbon as possible and promote the connection of roots as per the Wood-Wide Web. An application of the organic liquid fertiliser Food2Soil is one of the nexts steps across one half of the planting to area to help measure its effectiveness.
