HINTERLAND Bush Links has launched a new year-long bush restoration program. It starts with volunteers removing invasive weeds from a 13-acre property in Reesville.
The event was the first in a series of weeding and planting sessions held as part of the group's volunteer-led Roving Restorers program, aimed at reducing invasive species and promoting natural regeneration in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Manager Aleisha Keating said controlling weeds such as privet and exotic grasses provided the space, light and conditions needed for native flora to recover and young trees to establish. “The Sunshine Coast hinterland is home to some amazing wildlife such as wallabies, koalas, giant gliders, black cockatoos and echidnas,” she said. “Unitywater’s support is helping our Roving Restorers program make further progress in bushland regeneration and has also become a great way for passionate members of our community to socialize and spend time being active outdoors.”
The project is supported by Unitywater's Healthy and Thriving Community Grants program, which is funding nine sessions to clear weeds and plant 900 native trees, alongside an expanded land management commitment.
