The stunning views at Undercliffe Reserve in Freshwater have been restored with a little help from some local friends.

For the past two years the Northern Beaches Council Bushcare volunteer group in conjunction with Friends of Freshwater has been working to regenerate and stabilise the local environment in the area, contributing more than 500 hours of their time to the cause.

Founding member Peter Harley said the results of their work had not been lost on local residents and visitors alike.

“There is a great appreciation for our work among local beach goers,” he said.

One such local beach goer includes seven-time World Surfing Champion Layne Beachley who regularly stops to compliment the efforts of the group.

“The transformation has been truly remarkable,” Ms Beachley said. “The work of the volunteers means you can now take in the beautiful view on the way down to the beach.”

Mr Harley said the group had recently received a grant from Greater Sydney Local Land Services which had helped boost the results.

“We also rely heavily on support and guidance from Northern Beaches Council,” he said.
