Salt Lake wetland recovery boosted with 9000 trees

August 7th, 2008 by Shirley

We recently completed our major winter rehabilitation program including planting and seeding about 8ha of Flour Cask Bay Sanctuary with local native species. As they grow they will enhance wildlife habitat and reduce the impacts of salinity on the surrounding lagoons. It will also improve the amenity for visitors. Check out what , The Islander, Kangaroo Island’s local paper had to say about the outcome.

Thanks go out to all the volunteers from Urrbrae Agricultural High School in Adelaide, and the local community for all their great effort. We look forward to doing even a bigger and better job next winter.
