Lauderdale Coast Care

Group

Lauderdale 7021
We started the group around 1992 or 1993 - the 3rd group to start up in Clarence City Council. In the beginning our main focus was on the main beach, fencing, planting, weeding, rubbish removal and education. We still take an active interest in the dune, currently TASMARC, education and planting both for sand retention and fire breaks. In the beginnign we also took an interest in the 3 parks behind the dunes and around the canal.We are aiming to grow the groups and get somone to take on the role as Coordinator, after 33 year we are aiming to step back, the local Scout Group will continue to support larger activites. Locations:- Roscommon: this has been a major project. Starting around 2005, currently we are reiviewing and planting an understorey that will support a range of native birds. We are using spiky natives as barriers to keep people, cats and dogs out of some areas.- Racecourse Flat and Sea Grass beds: currently (2020) having input into this area\'s master plan, and we have committed to help with planting and education.- Schools: Michael and I have developed a hands on session that teaches Kindergarten - Primary age students dune erosion and how to plant a plants, we have run these session for schools from Bellerive to South Arm.Working Bees: these are advertised locally, usually have around 30 plus attend.- Litter pick ups: 2 -3 dependant on need, few years ago had 8 in 12 weeks.
