Restoring Aquatic Ecosystems on Molonga Creek and Annabone Wetlands - Stage 1

This project targets weed management in a wetlands system that flows in to the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon. The aquatic environment of Mungalla Stations wetland system is currently infested by three Weeds of National Significance, which compromise the ecology, hydrology and water quality of this aquatic system. The Nywaigi Clan have already begun the process of revegetating and rehabilitating the creek and wish to expand the project by creating a corridor of vegetation along the length of the creek to manage the weed populations in the wetlands. Participants will be involved in plant propagation, tree and shrub planting and wetland weed management. The majority of revegetation will take place in the first six months of the year to take advantage of available soil moisture.
