The Green Army, that is.
A group of young adults taking part in the federal government conservation initiative spent two days working in Willow Park.
Friends of Willow Park president Karen Stacey said the weeding done near the House Creek bridge formed part of the park’s masterplan.
“It's all been orientated to improve it as a bushland corridor for animals and plants to be able to move along, so we're putting lots of native grasses and plants, ones that birds can find shelter in because some of these are a bit prickly," she said.
Green Army supervisor Kim Radnell said the workers were about halfway through their six-month program assisting Wodonga region environment projects.
Ms Stacey appreciated their time at Willow Park.
“They’ve been terrific,” she said. “They put in a full day of hard work, it really helps move things along quicker than a few people working in a volunteer capacity.”
