You’re invited to join us to help regenerate coastal forest at Tomaree’s One Mile Beach Headland along the Tomaree Coastal walk.

The Friends of Tomaree National Park & Escape Eco Adventures are inviting you to a terrific morning of bush care. We will be clearing Bitou Bush (one of the most invasive species on the coast, threatening over 50 already threatened species plus other native plant species). We’ll mostly be under filtered shade.

Our bush regen is in consultation with the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Your contribution is a big step in our combined long term project to remove invasive species from One Mile Headland. In some areas natural regeneration will occur, in others we’ll give a helping hand and provide locally raised native plants and improve the resilience of this coastal forest. Once the site is cleared of Bitou Bush, the native plants we provide in Autumn will stand a far greater chance of survival. In the long term this will make the site more resistant to re-invasion from Bitou and other exotic plants, providing a stable and long term home for the abundant wildlife we have (and want to keep!) around the Tomaree Peninsula.

After our regen session, you’re very welcome to stay for a simple morning tea, supplied. Please just bring your own cup. 

There’s an opportunity for afternoon water sports too with Escape Eco Adventures.
