Wetlands restoration takes centre stage

THE Limestone Coast Landscape Board is excited to be hosting a community drop-in information session in relation to the karst spring wetland restoration project currently underway in the Eight Mile Creek area.

The informal drop-in session being held at Port MacDonnell Visitor Information Centre on Wednesday, May 28 May, is designed to answer any questions you may have in relation to this inspiring project that is focused on restoring the wetland ecosystem around three of the region’s unique and threatened karst springs.

Project coordinator for the karst spring wetland restoration Dr Emma Maxwell said community members will be able to learn why the restoration is so important, the informative monitoring activities happening right now, proposed works on the site and the timelines for the restoration.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for the local community to develop a sense of connection to the project,” Dr Maxwell said. “This drop-in session is a great informal way to ask questions and provide feedback on any areas of concern.”

The Limestone Coast community are welcome to attend this drop-in session between 9am and 1pm at the Port MacDonnell Visitor Information Centre, on Wednesday, May 28, with no bookings required.

This project is funded by the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust and delivered by the Limestone Coast Landscape Board, a member of the Commonwealth Regional Delivery Partners panel.
