Local Hands for Nature volunteer on National Tree Day 2023

Ecological restoration

Local Hands for Nature are a group of volunteers that practice ecological restoration methods in public open space and conservation areas. Methods include:

  • hand-weeding to save native species and ecosystems from being strangled and smothered by environmental weeds
  • revegetation (planting) to give degraded ecosystems a boost to restore, recover and to fight off weeds.

This work is extremely important to not only improve the health of the forests and dune ecosystems but to provide quality habitat for wildlife to forage and live and to improve the stability of the coastal dunes in the region. 

The group meets the third Sunday of every month. If you’d like to be involved, contact us or Local Hands for Nature on socials.
