Charles Sturt University (CSU) staff will meet on Thursday 14 February to propagate native plants on the CSU Orange Campus for the Summer Hill Creekcare group as one of several community projects taking place in 2008. New staff have been invited to join the CSU group who spend a few hours each month collecting seed in the field, cleaning and propagating seed and potting seedlings. The seedlings are then planted on Orange Campus and in other parts of the Summer Hill Creek catchment. “This is a great way to get involved in the community,” rural management lecturer and group coordinator Cilla Kinross explains. This conservation project - propagating trees, shrubs and grasses - is one of many undertaken by CSU, Australia’s largest inland university.
