Planting will help stabilise the newly reshaped Birdwood Park dune and reduce the amount of sand blown into Narrabeen Lagoon entrance. It will also provide important habitat for our native fauna.
The community can drop by North Narrabeen between 10am - 2pm to help revegetate the dunes with native plants.
The works will support our Narrabeen Lagoon Strategy, with an estimated 5,000 native plants to be planted on the day.
As part of National Tree Day, Schools Tree Day will also be celebrated, with native plants caringly propagated by our volunteer community nurseries being delivered to 22 local schools.
Students from North Narrabeen Sports High are also providing a helping hand at the dunes as part of Schools Tree Day during the week.
Ms Reid-Anderson, a teacher at Narrabeen Sports High School said:
“As an educator, I love working outside with my students and reconnecting with nature. I have seen first-hand the benefits to student wellbeing. In addition, students are empowered when they go home and educate their families and integrate sustainable practices in their home lives.”
The fencing and planting is jointly funded by Council and the NSW Government through its Coastal and Estuary Grants Program.
