SUMMARY:Coastcaring at Burwood Beach
DESCRIPTION:Burwood Beach is the coastal part of Glenrock State Conservation Area. In the past\, this bit of beach had its foredunes covered by Bitou Bush.<br />
 <br />
 Several years of efforts by coastal volunteers banishing Bitou Bush are making a difference to the varierty of coastal plants that now call Burwood Beach their home. This regeneration project still has a long way to go and you can be a part of its transformation.  <br />

SUMMARY:Coastcaring at Merewether Beach
DESCRIPTION:<p>
 Merewether Beach was once covered only in Bitou Bush but now thanks to the efforts of several local coastcare groups native vegetation is once again holding the dunes in place.<br />
 <br />
 The main task we tackle is the ongoing replacement of local weeds such as Gazania and Bitou Bush with local coastal native plants.
