Huge community support for caring for coast
Many hands make light work with brushing
Many hands made light work of the mountain of brush. Brushing involves using native prunings from trees like peppermint, which would otherwise go to green waste. Instead, the brush is laid down to close unofficial pathways and keep people from walking on the vegetation. It also gives the fragile coastal heath a chance to grow back, protects new plantings and seedlings, and reduces human impacts on this biodiverse ecosystem.
Fun and inspiring to be part of the team caring for coast
“It was so great fun and really inspiring to be part of the team of volunteers. And it was great to give back to this coast that we enjoy and appreciate so much,” says our guide Trev Paddenburg. He took part in the Nature Conservation event and is a regular at the green group’s volunteering days.
Hungry volunteers refuel thanks to our catering
A big thanks to our friends at the White Elephant Beach Cafe for the free coffees for volunteers. And to Margaret River Hampers (which operates out of our in-house commercial kitchen and contributes to our catering for hikers) for the delicious donated morning tea. This event was also made possible thanks to the Margaret River Coastal Residents Association, whose dedicated vollies work week in week out to care for the Prevelly coast. Epic work everyone! Our guides, drivers and staff are already looking forward to the next caring for coast volunteering day to take part in.
