There have been big transformations at the Russell St Environmental Park this year. The Guinea Grass removal project has been completed and now ready to plant at the commencement of the wet. The natives planted early in the year flourishing. Also a large number of seedlings have been sprouting from the existing seed bank now that they have space to grow. The volunteers have also received very positive feedback from members of the community who appreciate the effort in beautifying and enhancing the site. This area will continue to evolve as we improve species diversity and maintain the site.

Melalueca Creek rehabilitation project

Joey (pictured) and Doug continue to rehabilitate the Melaleuca Creek each week. It is hard to capture the scope of work that has been achieved at this site over the years. Pictured are the latest plantings and ‘visitors’ at the site. Brigette filling a bag with weeds.

Foreshore reveg

Another project is underway at Bramston Beach. A foreshore owner, Luke is planting native (above and below). As these grow, he will remove the invasive weeds such as Singapore Daisy.

Moody Creek’s new reveg program

Chris, Rob and Rosie

Moody Creek has gotten off to a great start with revegetation works beginning in November. The site has had its regular volunteers attending, as well as the Clontarf Academy youth program, and Gapforce, an international student organisation. The volunteers have already made a big impact on the site through removal of various invasive weed species, as well as rubbish that had accumulated over the years throughout the creek area. It will be great to watch this space improve as it is revegetated.
