HINTERLAND Bush Links has launched a new year-long bush restoration program, kicking off with volunteers removing invasive weeds from a 13-hectare Reesville property.
The event marked the first in a series of weeding and planting sessions to be delivered through the group’s volunteer-led Roving Restorers program, aimed at reducing invasive species and encouraging natural regeneration across the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Manager Aleisha Keating said tackling weeds such as privet and exotic grasses created the space, light and conditions needed for native flora to recover and for young trees to establish. “The Sunshine Coast Hinterland is home to some amazing wildlife like wallabies, koalas, greater gliders, glossy-black cockatoos and echidnas,” she said. “Unitywater’s support helps our Roving Restorers program continue making strides in bushland regeneration and has also become a great way for passionate members of our community to connect and spend time being active outdoors.”
The project is supported by Unitywater’s Healthy and Thriving Community Grants program, which will fund nine sessions to remove weeds and plant 900 native trees, alongside expanded land-management engagement.
