Ocean Shores remnant wetland revegetation and protection

This project will protect and restore a remnant paperbark and palm forest wetland, not only important for its carbon storage, but it is also critical habitat for the endangered Mitchell's Rainforest Snail. This proposal forms stage two of the project, a management plan has already been completed for the site. In line with that plan, this project will remove weeds, revegetate weeded areas, revegetate the buffer zone to protect the wetland and restore connectivity by removing an old fence and a raised area of soil. Both terrestrial and aquatic connectivity to an adjacent, Council owned, natural bushland area, is blocked. These activities will be undertaken by the local school as well as environmental community groups and volunteers.
