Mellons Bay volunteers had two very successful planting bees at the weekend with about 40 volunteers on Saturday and more than 20 on Sunday.
All plants are in the ground and planted well and some weeding was completed too.
Coordinator David Mallowes said, “I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to individuals, families, Chinese associations and students, notably many from Macleans College.
“The MacDonald Walkway from Mellons Bay beach and the McLeay Reserve will now need very little if any weed spraying and can be managed manually.
“The walkways (1.5km) are looking very attractive and good progress is being made on improving the surface through the McLeay Reserve.”
Mallowes said there is “extreme concern” from many residents at the recent closure of access from Montressor Place.
“Hopefully repairs/replacement of the steps will be expedited, otherwise do enjoy this superb walkway and keep an eye out for future planned improvements.”
