Completing the Connection - Uki Riparian Corridor and Platypus Walk

The project will link together a series of riparian restoration and revegetation projects undertaken by Tweed Shire Council in and around the village of Uki. It will complement existing community engagement in environmental protection by incorporating two workshops to demonstrate the techniques and possible outcomes of natural area restoration, as well as holding National Tree Day 2015 on site. The project will restore and protect 2 ha of riparian vegetation by removing over 95% of the ground-layer weeds, mid-storey weeds and vine weeds and maintaining the site weed free, as well as removing garbage and redundant fencing along the Tweed River to improve access by community and fauna.
