Mitchie Bushcare Group

 Location and History

This group started in earnest in 2004. Staff and students from both Mitchelton State High School and Mitchelton State School united to carry out revegetation and weed control activites as part of teaching of horticultural and environmental matters that weave through the various subjects taught at both schools.

Both schools are situated close to two small rivulets that unite about Glen Retreat Rd (UBD Map page 138 ref. H6) This small creek then runs under Samford Road and behind the shops on the Western side of Blackwood St. and then joins Kedron Brook near Brookside park on the eastern side of Brookside shopping centre.

Activities

Weeding and revegetation activites have been conducted during school hours as part of the curiculum of the students from both schools.
