	Activities of the Friends of Porteous Park		On 12/2/09, Friends Group members and others met with Dr Geoff Barrett (Regional Ecologist, Swan Region, Department of Environment and Conservation) and Julia Cullity (Community Bushland Coordinator, Department of Environment and Conservation) to trial a set of "rapid habitat assessment templates", used to determine the ecological health of the bushland of Porteous Park. The survey took a couple of hours with trial locations captured using GPS, and the results taken back for entry into Dr Barrett's database. Some improvements to the templates were suggested. Further surveys in Porteous Park are required during 2009 to build a complete picture of the ecological health . Friends Group weeding in Conservation Week on Sat October 6th 2012

The team worked for 4 full days, with Mike supervising this work and weeding with them. 16 species of weed were removed, 9 of them completely over the entire bushland reserve, the aim being to further weaken the weed seed bank in the soil
