Restoration of Vegetation Communities - Georges River & Botany Bay

The Green Army will remove weeds and litter from locations on the Georges River and Botany Bay to protect the habitat of threatened animals and plants. The project will also focus on conserving Aboriginal cultural sites. Weed removal will focus on species that transform habitats, including alligator weed, arboreal vines, lantana, bitou, blackberry and prickly pear. Removing flood and tidal debris will help regenerate sensitive habitats, including mangrove vegetation. Aboriginal site protection will include clearing tracks and erecting bollards and fencing. The activities will be undertaken with the involvement of Dharawal Elders teaching Green Army participants about Aboriginal culture.
