Gosford City Council has been successful is securing two teams for Umina Beach under the Federal Government Green Army initiative. The teams will work in partnership with Landcare/Bushcare groups to ensure that the coastal dunes recover from the storm damage, and are not overtaken by weed species. These teams will help build the resilience of the dunes to future storm events by removing debris and litter and improving dune habitat, rebuilding and repairing fencing to better manage public access, invasive weed removal, dune system re-vegetation, and providing erosion control measures.
If you would like to know more about the program then come along to the Umina Community Group Information Night – November 26th at 7pm at Umina Surf Life Saving Club.
