THE Friends of Tomaree National Park group is continuing work to regenerate bush and improve the resilience of coastal forest on One Mile Beach headland.
The community is invited to join the effort on Saturday morning, 10 May, when volunteers will tackle invasive Bitou Bush and undertake planting in bare areas.
“[The] community have already made a massive difference here in clearing bitou and helping regenerate with local native plants,” said Friends of Tomaree National Park coordinator Sue Olsson.
“May is ideal, as it’s warm but not too hot for us and the plants, and we hope there’s still some rain to come afterwards.
“Community participation is a massive assistance in our longer term plan to make this site more resistant to re-invasion from Bitou and other exotic plants, providing a stable and long term home for the abundant wildlife we have around the Tomaree Peninsula.
“Everyone’s small contribution when working together makes a huge difference, as this will be our fourth community activity at this site and we can see the change,” Sue said.
The Friends of Tomaree National Park, a voluntary community group, work at the headland with the support of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the NSW Australian Climbing Association, and Escape Eco Adventures.
