Keeping the forest free of weeds
Vale Matthew Harding
Matthew Harding starts creating Wilbur the Weed in 2014.
Blackwood and Barry’s Reef Landcare Group extends its sympathy and condolences to the family of Matthew Harding, who took his own life on February 22.
Trentham-based Matthew will always have a connection with Blackwood Landcare through his generous creation and construction of our statue/float Wilbur the Weed in 2014.
Matt gave his time and talent freely because assisting the community was an important priority for him.
News of his unexpected death is a sobering shock for us all.
Information about ways to assist Matt’s partner Freya and four young kids is available here.
Wilbur is the most amazing sculpture. I remember thinking ‘wow’ the first time I saw it.
