One of a number of plantings at Lansallos, 2009

The first planting on Lansallos was in 1998 when Bruce and friends planted 500 trees and shrubs to try and vegetate the open land.  It was surprising that 500 plants only made a tiny dent in the lack of vegetation on a 40ha (100 acre) block of land.

This planting was followed in the following couple of years by 3 plantings by volunteers of 'Birds Australia' which resulted in a total of about 6,000 new plants.

The planting in progress below was to combat some erosion on Lansallos.
