Restoring Landing Lights Wetland

 

As part of the Cooks River Alliance On-ground Works Program, the Alliance provided funding and assistance to Bayside Council to deliver wetland restoration at Landing Lights, including mangroves and weed removal. The 3 year intensive program has recently been completed and delivered:

• Significant restoration including the removal of mangroves
• Planted new local native species to replace removed species
• Increased community engagement in environmental initiatives
• Developed a community bird watching and monitoring group

This project was supported through funding from the Australian Government.
