Coastal Projects- King Edward Park

TIN volunteers have been regularly coastcaring on Newcastle's beaches since 2003.  The coastal projects are made possible with grants from the Hunter-Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority, The Australian Government's Envirofund and site specific grants from Newcastle City Council and National Parks and Wildlife Services.

The main sites for TIN's coastcaring are Merewether and Burwood Beaches, King Edward Park and Shepherds Hill.

Creating Stepping Stones for Frugivores

Ideally, in natural area restoration we have large bushland areas within which we are working to re-establish on-site habitat or wildlife corridors to even more extensive areas of native wildlife habitat

The reality is often much less than this: we are working in narrow urban riparian reserves infested with Lantana, Privet, Bitou and Camphor Laurel, or we only have our own backyard in which to work. Even so, you can still make a substantial contribution to protection of native wildlife in your area by creating a “stepping stone” oasis for fruit-eating (frugivorous) wildlife.

Bush Regeneration Services

Supporting TIN is supporting the local environment

The highly qualified, enthusiastic and sought after bush regeneration team offer a variety of bush regeneration and revegetation services to private landholders, local governments, DECC (NPWS), corporate landholders and community groups.

The proceeds from the Bush Regen Team's efforts go back into supporting TIN's volunteer and land care projects in Newcastle and the Biodiversity in Schools project throughout the Lower Hunter. nursery, volunteer & education centre and provider of bush regeneration services.

Fire Retardant Plants

Some lucky people live in, near or next to bushland. This can be great if you want to take a walk and watch the birds, wonder about the daily routines of the wildlife, or catch a waft and witness the new flowers of the season. The Australian bush is a beautiful place, but also a dangerous one which can threaten your life and property.
