Our expanding dune and bushcare restoration networks now cover areas from Stumers Creek north of Coolum Beach south to Twin Waters/North Shore on the Maroochy River. Please see the table below for the latest details on groups, meeting places and times. Contact details of each of the group coordinators is also provided. It is best to contact the coordinator prior to visiting or joining a group to obtain current information on meeting places and times, as we move around a bit!
Following is some more detailed information on our current regular weeding and revegetation groups. We are always in need of members and volunteers for a variety of projects, even if it is just an hour every now and then.
Stumers Dunes Bush Regeneration
An incredibly friendly and diverse group, we meet on Thursday mornings usually at the entrance to Beach Access 71 on Stumers Creek Road (look for the banner). We are working on the south side of the Beach Access. Gidee gidee vine is our priority but we also bag Asparagus Fern, Mother of Millions, Corky Passion Vine, and Pepper and Umbrella trees. Occasionally we plant natives in bare areas under the supervision of Nadia from the Sunshine Coast Council.
Contact Birte Spencer on 0403 752 955 ... or just coo-ee if you can't see us!
Yinneburra/Yarranya Dunes Bush Regeneration
Volunteers meet at the end of Yinneburra Street (off Yerranya Row) in Yaroomba most Thursdays at 8.30 am, but it is best to contact the coordinator to confirm as we move around quite a lot. Please bring your own gloves and tools to remove Corky Passion Vine, Asparagus Fern and many other invasive weeds. We provide weed bags. We also monitor the health and map the location of Pandanus Trees. School groups regularly join us for revegetation work using seedlings from the Coolum Community Native Nursery.
