Thanks to funding and support from Hunters Hill Council we are growing our Mangrove Tidal Nursery at Woolwich. We are growing 1000 grey mangroves to replant along the Lane Cove River where the existing forests are getting lost to over development and ferry wash.

Cool Facts 

3 x carbon sequestering than trees

80 % habitats for costal fish stocks

Natural filters of heavy metals

A fantastic result was achieved at Woolwich baths when the lantana overgrown riverbank collapsed.

Work started with clearing the embankment and laying the geomembrane. Levis where then built and back filled. Finally the embankment was planted out with native grasses.

In addition to the tidal nursery bio engineering works will be required to stabilise and protect the existing mangroves and salt plains

A second on shore nursery / Seed bank for the endangered river mangrove species will be established with further funding

Come join us for a fun morning at a beach clean-up.

We have partnered with CLEAN-UP AUSTRALIA so we can keep a record of what washes up. Hopefully together we can make changes up the packaging supply chain.

• Establish and manage a tidal mangrove nursery (300 plants every year)

• Work with local council on a mangrove seed bank for endangered river mangroves

• Plant out and green the concrete stonewall

• return the biodiversity back to the bay both in, on and above the water

• Engage and educate local community
