Friends Of Trentham Creeks and Reserves received funds to clear weeds and plant along Trent Creek under the Regional Riparian Action Plan Program. The area has two plant species listed as rare in Victoria.
FOTCR Convenor Jan Robertson said the group had a great time working alongside the Trentham Primary School students.
“Their enthusiasm was well supported by school staff and parent volunteers,” she said.
“Having washed 40 pairs of small- size gardening gloves and dozens of hand -tools, my laundry smells like a damp swamp, but I will happily put the equipment away for next time."
Trent Creek is the site of a historic swimming pool used by Trentham residents in the 1920s. The group plans to acknowledge the history of the site with interpretive signage.
