Bushells Lagoon Habitat Restoration Stage One: Engage, assess, plant

Stage 1 of Bushells Lagoon Wetland Rehabilitation will engage Green Army participants and several stakeholder organisations in assessing the health and habitat values of the wetland; provide staged works to remove invasive weeds; propagate a wide range of suitable local indigenous plant species; and undertake a revegetation program along selected sections of the lagoon’s foreshores. Participating stakeholders will include local landholders, growers, bird watchers, landcare and bush care groups. Green Army participants and the local community will undertake guided tours to compare the habitat values and management issues of two listed wetlands nearby (Longneck and Pitt Town Lagoons) with the current degraded state of Bushells Lagoon.
