Crowdy Bay NP Bush Regeneration Project, Kylies Beach Annual Camp

NPA Crowdy Bay NP Bush Regeneration Project, Kylies Beach Annual Camp
Monday 16 to Sunday 22 June

This year marks the 46th year of Mid North Coast’s branch involvement in on-ground habitat restoration in Crowdy Bay National Park. Next month will see the end of our four-year Environmental Trust grant of $127,000 accompanied by the most phenomenal achievements. Our wonderful Ranger Ben Stevenson, has secured other funding to expand the project area to the southern half of the park where bitou bush is rife. From small beginnings of our volunteers trying to battle bitou bush alone on just one section of Diamond Head, the project has grown by hundreds of hectares over a variety of habitats involving treatment of all weed species present. A number of our sites are now in pristine condition requiring only minimal effort.

This year’s camp based at Kylie’s Beach will be held from Monday 16th June to Sunday 22nd June, with camp set up on Sunday for those who wish to begin work on Monday morning. If new people are interested, there are no camping fees and volunteers are welcome to attend for however long they like. However, they must register as a volunteer with NPWS. I can direct you on how to do this. We have use of a trailer fully equipped with cooking and eating gear and small gas stoves. A large tarpaulin is stretched out from the trailer to cover our ‘dining area’.

Please email Sue Baker if interested in attending.
