Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail

With the O’Keefe Rail Trail being a longitudinal connector for identified areas of significant biodiversity, care for this important link is being assisted by the Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail members.

In conjunction with the City of Greater Bendigo council’s Parks & Natural Reserves staff, the working bee effort was focussed on providing additional mulch around a previous plantation that had been affected by the major 2023 floods.

This plantation is adjacent to the O’Keefe Rail Trail and the trail’s Campaspe River bridge at Axedale.

A great couple of hours in the morning sunshine provided an ideal environment for the collaborative effort by the ten volunteers. Of course, once the task was completed, it was followed by coffee and chats at Rise and Grind cafe in Axedale!
