Cockle Creek planting

Cockle Creek, Teralba

This planting looked at supporting structural works on the creek and helped secure future saltmarsh to provide breeding habitat for aquatic species. The area to be revegetated using the trees we've donated is approximately 1,920 square metres!

The project mitigates against deterioration of the creek in future storm events and helps with the rehabilitation of a waterway that has been heavily impacted by past industrial practices. Strengthening the ecological communities along its stretch are likely to have positive flood mitigation impacts.

Planting dates: 17th May, 2021.
