This project aims to conserve and protect the natural characteristics of five local headlands (Boambee, Macauleys, Woolgoolga, Mullaway & Oceanview) through which the popular Solitary Islands Coastal Walk passes by reducing the encroachment of weeds from along the pathway into the surrounding natural headland vegetation. Most of these Headlands support the endangered ecological community, Themeda grasslands on sea cliffs and coastal headlands in the NSW North Coast. Maintenance along the edge of the Coastal Walk pathways is often not frequent enough to stop weedy grasses from seeding or shading out the sun loving native species. This project aims to increase the frequency of maintenance and to carry it out in a more sensitive manner through the targeted spot spraying or hand removal of weeds leaving natives untouched. A Headland Plant Id workshop will also be held for our volunteers as part of this project.
This project made possible with funding from the City of Coffs Harbour Environmental Levy.
