πΏ Protecting Our Beach Scrub Community Field Day πΏ
Did you know that coastal beach scrub is one of Queensland's threatened ecological communities?
Beach scrub is a unique type of coastal rainforest that grows behind our dunes, forming a natural green barrier between the ocean and inland areas. These diverse plant communities provide critical habitat for native birds, reptiles, insects and mammals, protect our coastline from erosion and storm impacts and help stabilise sandy soils.
Unfortunately, beach scrub is under increasing pressure from invasive w**ds, habitat fragmentation, vehicle damage, inappropriate clearing and coastal development. Once lost, these complex ecosystems can take decades to recover.
The good news is that everyone can play a role in protecting beach scrub by:
- Staying on designated tracks and pathways
- Keeping vehicles out of sensitive coastal vegetation
- Supporting local conservation and restoration projects
Join Pioneer Catchment Landcare for a FREE community field day and learn how local groups are working together to restore and protect this important ecosystem.
