SUMMARY:Lower Tokai Tuesday Alien Hack
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join us for our weekly Tuesday Lower Tokai Alien Pull. \nJoin the regular gang by advising us at friendsoftokaipark@gmail.com of your noble and much-appreciated intent\, don a pair of long pants\, sturdy gloves\, sturdier boots and a sensible hat\, and bring a goodly amount of water along with you – and snacks if needed. If you have a pair of loppers or poppers to spare\, your willingness to share them will greatly enhance your reputation among those of us reduced to pulling out pines with our teeth. \nThus forearmed\, venture forth with us for a two-hour session of slaying dragons\, Black Wattle and other alien invasives\, before going home feeling righteously exercised and rejuvenated in soul\, mind and body. We generally meet at one of the gates on Orpen Road and\, to preclude you standing alone at an empty gate in inclement weather\, please sign up to our mailing list or follow our Facebook Events page to receive notifications of any changes closer to the time.

SUMMARY:Great Southern Bioblitz 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Great Southern BioBlitz is an opportunity for all Southern Hemisphere countries to record organisms during spring and showcase our beautiful biodiversity to the world while collecting data for science. The event is run by a network of keen citizen scientists from across the globe. \nGSB 2026 will run from Friday\, 27 November 2026 at 00:00 am until Monday\, 30 November 2026 at 12:00 pm. Participants will then have a further 14 days to upload all their observations and to help get everything identified. \nWhile it is fun to try and do well in terms of participants and observation numbers\, please note that the GSB is primarily used for species monitoring\, particularly within protected areas\, stewardship sites\, and other natural areas of biodiversity significance\, or in gap areas that might need better protection. The emphasis is on the long-term quality and relevance of observations rather than the total number submitted. Therefore it is essential that participants heck back and respond to comments\, identifications and other activity on all their observations.

SUMMARY:Arboretum Group
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join us in restoring our natural heritage as we root out alien vegetation from beneath the canopy of our historic Tokai Arboretum. \nJoin our dedicated Arboretum Group (wearing sturdy clothes and gloves accompanied by a bottle of water) at the Tokai Picnic Area car park before heading off to further restore this remarkable piece of history. Tools will be made available but\, should you have poppers\, loppers\, a garden fork or chainsaw handy\, you’re most welcome to bring it/them along. \nPlease note that\, while all are most welcome\, these activities involve physical exertion and we ask that you be mindful of your abilities and limitations in this regard. Owing to the close proximity of potentially dangerous tools and herbicides\, we cannot accommodate children. \nShould you be a first-time volunteer\, please notify friendsoftokaipark@gmail.com that you will be joining us. We will then be able to contact you should inclement weather or other circumstances necessitate us changing times or cancelling individual hacks. \nThis activity falls under a permit system issued by SANParks and in accordance with the Protected Areas Act\, Biodiversity Act and other regulations related to Protected Areas and heritage sites.
