Leaders from 6 Local Bushcare Groups met this week to signal the start of much needed rehabilitation works along the 11kms eastern beaches strip, where vegetated dunes provide resilience to the onslaught of coastal erosion. This 3 year ‘Coastal Connect’ project funded by Noosa Council, will enable local contractors to assist Bushcare volunteers strengthen the dunal bushland between Sunshine & Peregian Beaches.
The team will be focused on ensuring healthy foreshore dunes including an emphasis on our coastal creek estuaries at Sunshine, Marcus, Castaways & Peregian, as well as scattered ephemeral ponds throughout the precincts. There is an enhanced spirit of co-operation between these Bushcare Groups who have individually been involved in rehabilitation activities for decades. NICA is auspicing this program funded by Noosa Council over 3 years. If you can assist with this project, even once, please contact Ryan 0428559245
