Project description

Listed as an Endangered Ecological Community, Pages Creek Wetland was being invaded by woody weeds and vines. This was the key threat to the environmental values of the creek, a tributary of Lane Cove River that forms a freshwater wetland, before entering the river�s estuary. Landcare Australia and Link Group, a global business specialising in fund administration and securities registration, partnered to offer a grants program supporting the Landcare community to undertake on-ground works to restore the health and water filtration properties of Pages Creek wetland, as well as improve the local biodiversity and native habitat values.

Project aims

Project outcome

Removal of weeds and the subsequent hazard reduction burn undertaken as part of this project promoted natural regeneration of native species, conserving biodiversity and enhancing habitats for native plants and animals. This project also benefits the local community through reducing fuel loads and fire risk to the surrounding community.
