Oct 2009 - the very end of the Cockpit Reserve cleared

At the very end of the Cockpit Stage 3 is a steep embankment which was weed infested. This could not be cleared by machine as it had a creek running in front of it and was very steep. It involved climbing the embankment and either cutting from the hill above or from where-ever a foothold could be got (even climbing into a tree at one stage to get one hard to reach tree). There was only hardly any native trees on the embankment to save but we ensured they stayed.  We stacked the brush into a pile at the base as we went on the only  section at that location which wasnt so steep but was still sloping and later burnt the brush on site to get rid of it. This completed the lions share of the clearing required in the Stage 3 area
