Guildford Upper-Loddon Landcare (GULL) has invited Castlemaine Field Naturalists Club to undertake an excursion along their proposed Nature Trail on the Loddon River and the Big Tree, an ancient Biyal (Red Gum) in Guildford. The purpose of the excursion is to harness our expertise in a survey of the flora and fauna to assist in promoting the walk and developing it in sympathy with its potential.
We look forward to exploring this wonderful natural asset and adding to the knowledge of its natural values.
GULL will kindly provide afternoon tea (including GF options) at the end of our walk, just bring your chair!
Meet: for car-pooling and 1.30pm departure at the northern end of the car park, north of the Railway Goods Shed, Kennedy St. Castlemaine.
Or meet at 1.45pm near the Loddon River, at the far western end of Havelock Street, Guildford (i.e. at the opposite end of the road that leads up to the Guildford Lookout) (Google Maps).
Bring: water, snacks, clean sturdy shoes, chairs.
Please note: excursions may be altered or cancelled due to weather or other exceptional factors. Check our website the day before the excursion in case there is a change (www.castlemainefieldnaturalists.org.au).
