Austinville Landcare Group

October 27, 2019 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am

The Austinville Landcare Group was established in November 2005 and is partnered with the Natural Areas Management Unit under the Beaches to Bushland, Volunteer Landcare Program. The group assists with the restoration of City-managed Austinville Community Park and Austinville Conservation Area along the upper reaches of Mudgeeraba Creek. The group’s activities consist of environmental weed control and planting native riparian species where required.

The Austinville Valley is located between Mudgeeraba and Springbrook and was previously known for banana farming but is now known for its beautiful rainforests and stunning creek lines.  The group’s main focus is on the riparian areas along Mudgeeraba Creek with activities including weed control and revegetation where required.

The vegetation along these sections of Mudgeeraba Creek is classed as Regional Ecosystem type 12.3.2. This vegetation type is characterised by the presence of the canopy tree, Flooded Gum. This ‘of concern’ community is found in alluvial flats amongst hilly terrain, in the southern half of the city where there is more rainfall.

Working bees are on the last Sunday of the month from February to November.

Time: 8am – 10am
Place: Austinville Conservation Area, 621 Austinville Road and Austinville Community Park, Staghorn Drive. Please call to prior to confirm location.
What to bring: Sturdy shoes, long sleeve shirt, pants, sunscreen, hat and some water. Gloves are compulsory.
