🌱 2025 Planting Season – Coastal Restoration 🌱
Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside the City of Stirling to help implement several dune restoration projects across our coastline.
Under the City’s guidance and planning, we supported direct planting efforts at sites including Bennion, the primary dune face at Trigg, and the Scarborough Beach Shacks, and assisted with planting set up including placement, hole digging, watering, and guarding for community groups at several other sites along the coast.
City of Stirling’s amazing in house nursery provided several of the selected species to be planted and the remainder supplied by the wonderful folks at Natural Area.
Our role involved placing plants in areas where they’re best equipped to survive, based on local conditions and dune structure, and getting them into the ground with proper support.
🌾 A huge thank you goes out to all the community and volunteer groups who contributed their time and effort to help get these plants in. Your commitment plays a vital role in the success of these projects.
Here’s a snapshot of the planting totals:
🌀 Bennion Beach – 770 native plants
🌀 Waterman’s Bay– 518 plants
🌀 South Trigg – 654 plants
🌀 Brighton Beach – 2,402 plants
🌀 Trigg Primary Dune – 3,350 plants
🌀 Trigg Surf Lookout – 1,992 plants
🌀 Scarborough Dunes – 2,418 plants
🌀 Scarborough Beach Shacks – 225 plants
Thanks again to the City of Stirling for leading this important work, and to everyone involved in helping care for and protect our coastlines 🌊🌊
