Puckey's Estate coastal remnant vegetation restoration -1

Brief description

The project will undertake weed control and installation of 5,000 native plants to protect and enhance the resilience of coastal vegetation behinds the dunes at Puckey's Estate reserve in the Wollongong LGA. The reserve contains several Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs). Over an 18 month period, three Green Army teams will undertake on-ground restoration works in conjunction with Council contractors and Bushcare volunteers (2.5 ha per team and total of 7.5 ha over 18 months) to regenerate degraded areas within the 20 ha reserve to improve connectivity between the various vegetation communities across the reserve, with the vegetation in the adjacent dunes and along the estuary.
