SUMMARY:Banking on Trees Community Planting morning
DESCRIPTION:Join the team from WAW and Parklands Albury Wodonga in our first Banking on trees planting day on Sunday 24 July\, 9am-12noon. \nAbout this event \nDid you know that every time an account is opened at BankWAW\, we plant a tree? \nTrees create endless amounts of good. \nThey clean the air we breathe\, filter the water we drink\, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. \nPlanting a tree is also one of the easiest and cheapest ways to take CO2 out of the atmosphere to tackle the climate crisis. It’s also the easiest way that we\, as individuals\, can reduce our own footprint. \nThrough BankWAW’s Banking on Trees program\, we’re revegetating the bushland of our local communities\, contributing to a better climate\, supporting biodiversity and creating better living conditions for our local communities. \nTogether with our partner Parklands Albury Wodonga\, BankWAW is planting to make a difference. \nWe invite you to join us as we reach of goal of planting 1\,000 trees this year. \nWear warm clothes\, a closed toe shoe and bring a water bottle/thermos. \nWhere: Wodonga Regional Park\, Carrolls Ln\, West Wodonga. Find meeting point at https://www.google.com/maps/d/… \nPlease REGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club -The Big Walk in winter
DESCRIPTION:Forward planning – date may change a week or two one way or the other as we get closer. \nThe objective of this walk is to walk up into a light dusting of snow up the top of Buffalo – I think the chalet looks magical with a light dusting on it. We timed this right between lock-downs in 2020 and it was one of my favourite hikes for the year. Hopefully we’ll get the timing right again this year. \nThe walk starts at the carpark at the Park entry\, and climbs steadily to the Gorge\, is approx. 22km return and all on well-formed walking tracks. \nRisks: even if we don’t have snow\, there is likely to be patches of ice on the track higher up (I’ve previously found some and landed heavily on my back). \nThe track is likely to be very slippery on the mud and tree bark (especially the first/last 3km). \nBring a thermos and plenty of winter gear. \nNote that this is grade 4 medium-hard as the likely cold/wet/slippery/icy conditions add difficulty to what is already quite a big walk. \n\nLeader: David G\nPhone: 0432 632 142 after 7pm the Monday-Wednesday leading up to the walk please.\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au
