Wattle Day Walks - Young & Grenfell

Wattle Day is celebrated every year throughout Australia at wattle flowering time. This year Young District Landcare and Weddin Landcare are joining forces to celebrate Australia’s most iconic plant. Two Wattle Walks are being held and we invite you to join us.

The first walk is on Friday 22^nd August from 10am to 3pm on Rosemont, a Grenfell property where over 25 different types (species) of wattle are wild-growing or have been planted. Most will be flowering on the day and we will identify each species, looking at the different plant forms, their leaves and flowers. We will talk about the importance of wattles in the landscape and there will be plenty of other native plants to see and identify along the way.

The second day will be held in Young on the following Tuesday, 26^th August. The day will start at 9am with a bus trip to see some roadside wattles, followed by a walk on Mokhinui Vineyards, also with wild-growing and planted wattles. Many other species of trees, shrubs and wildflowers are found on this beautiful property of box gum woodland and we will explore these too.  The day’s activities will finish at 3pm.
