Our park volunteers catch up on a monthly basis at various locations around Cairns. The Jalarra Park (Stratford) group continues to revegetate the creek, replacing Singapore Daisy with a variety of native plants; 200 plants were planted during the January and February working bees. This is one of the biggest parks in Cairns, based in Stratford and is worth a visit. This group meets on the last Sunday morning of the month. Stroopers Park (Freshwater) volunteers have also been enhancing their small park and creek with native plantings. They meet the fi rst Saturday morning of the month. We also have volunteers enhancing their parks with trees at Byron Terrace, Redlynch; Keith Edwick Park, Machans Beach; Leonard Park, Kewarra Beach; McHugh Crescent, Whitfi eld; Rainy Mountain Park, Smithfi eld; and Barron Waters, Kamerunga.
