Livingstone Shire Green Army coastal protection and restoration project 2015

Green Army participants will work alongside community and Council to protect environmentally significant coastal and creek bank areas from impacts of public use and erosion and weed invasion. The Capricorn Coast includes many sites of environmental significance including coastal wetlands, headlands and sand dune ecosystems. Project sites will be selected on the basis of high environmental value, community interest and involvement, and the level of threat to the core environmental values of the site. Management of public access will be a focus with construction of improved beach access and bushland walking tracks, weed removal and revegetation of degraded areas using native plants endemic to the site.
