You’re invited to help us revitalise the coastal heath and forest along the Fingal south section along the Tomaree Coastal Walk.

Join the Fingal crew, a newly formed group of the Friends of Tomaree National Park, for just a couple of hours in the morning, Easter Saturday 19 April. Help make a difference to the integrity and resilience of this part of the fantastic scenic walk.

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

In the afternoon, you may want to look for whales here or on other section of the Tomaree Coastal Walk. 

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

We’ll mainly be working on Bitou Bush and Lantana, focussing where it is starting to get inhibit native plants. 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.

Your contribution is a big step in our combined long term project to remove invasive species from the Fingal headland, south of Barry Park, along the Tomaree Coastal Walk. In some areas natural regeneration will occur, in others we’ll watch and give a helping hand and provide locally raised native plants and improve the resilience of this coastal bush.
