The ‘Sunday Champions’ volunteers meet monthly to help support the restoration of bushland along Wrights Creek. They work at a number of sites between Flynn Street and Lake Road. Activities include weeding, bush regeneration and tree planting.
The team have embarked on tree planting to help sustain habitat for local Koalas along lower Wrights Creek. Plantings have featured Koala food trees amongst other local rainforest and woodland species. Since 2021 300 seedlings have been planted and maintained along Wrights Creek from Grant St to Lake Road.
The plantings feature key habitat trees to increase the diversity of food and shelter available for Koalas and other local wildlife along the Wrights Creek Corridor between Kooloonbung Creek Nature Park and Macquarie Nature Reserve.
Port Macquarie Landcare volunteers have been working on Wrights and Yarranabee Creeks since 2015. Our teams continue to look after these sites by removing invasive weeds to regenerate the bush. This work preserves the legacy of previous efforts and is adding to the value of habitat available for wildlife.
Volunteering is a great way to learn about and protect our local environment, and provides a rewarding social activity. Each working bee is followed by a visit to a local café to share stories and celebrate our work.
