- Bitou Bush and Boneseed Control Project $80k
The Northern Beaches Envirolink Inc received funding from Environment Australia
for a regionally co-ordinated project to undertake mapping and control works
on Bitou Bush and Boneseed - two of our most important coastal weeds. The
project was focused on Long Reef Headland, which was one of the last strongholds
for Bitou Bush along Warringah Council's managed coastline, and along the
northern peninsula and Lion Island. The funding was used to undertake detailed
surveys, private property inspections, community awareness and publicity campaigns
and to implement biocontrol strategies. The project was a combined effort
of Warringah and Pittwater Councils, the National Parks and Wildlife Service,
local community groups and contractors. The final report has been prepared.
- Greenlink Walk Project (Peter Miller is project mentor)
A natural 4km walk right around Griffith Park and Long Reef Golf Course.
The Northern Beaches Envirolink Inc was awarded Envirofunds for the Greenlink
Walk Project which circumnavigates Long Reef golf course. Most of the work
has already been carried out and a brochure has been distributed. A successful
initiative to establish 'non mowing areas' has been adopted and native plants
are already regenerating in these targeted areas. More
