Dune Planting Event

15 August 2018

You are invited to come and help plant natives at the dunes of Collingwood Beach, Vincentia and meet Wombat former contestant at The Block during the planting event.

WHEN: Saturday, 25 August 2018 from 9am – 12 noon.

WHERE: Beach end of Berry St off Elizabeth Drive, Vincentia

WHAT TO BRING/WEAR: Sturdy shoes, hat and sunscreen, long pants and sleeves, drinking water and gardening gloves if you have them.

Council will provide selected native plants which will be planted along 100m of the dune as part of a trial program being undertaken. The trial is to determine the best approach to managing the vegetation system along the sand dunes.

Council, in conjunction with the reference group, has developed an Action Plan that is based on a two-year trial program in response to continued vandalism of the vegetation along the dunes. The trial establishes a rehabilitation site and a pruning site.
