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.

Native Plant or Weed? Pick the Difference Workshop

Do you have troubles telling the difference between a Plum pine and an African olive? Can you spot a White cedar in a forest of Golden rain trees? Do you worry about your Wattles...Black or Cape Leeuwin? If you'd like to be able to venture forth with vegetation confidence Ann Loughran's workshop is the first step in that journey.

A Coastal Wetlands Park and Green Corridor

A previous TIN Topic mentioned briefly the work of the Coastal Wetlands Park Support Group whose aim is "to seek the long term security of the coastal wetlands and dunes, tributaries and buffer zones as part of a complex interconnection of remnant natural areas of state and possibly international significance, complementing the already recognised estuarine and salt marsh wetlands on the Hunter River at Newcastle."

Wind,Waves,Weeds, Walkers...Changing the Coast at Burwood Beach

Are you a fan of Burwood Beach, Bitou Bush or the Waste Water Treatment Works. If the beach is the main attraction you'll be pleased to know there are many people working to keep the coastline accessible and enjoyable. If Bitou Bush makes you smile come coastcaring with Trees In Newcastle and do a bit of Bitou banishing. If the Waste Water Treatment Works has attracted you, contact Hunter Water to find out how it works.
