Nelson Coastcare’s application for a Coastcare Victoria Community Grant 2023 has been successful! We have received funding to carry out a project on Livingstone’s Island.
Livingstone’s Island lies at the estuary mouth of the Lower Glenelg River within the Lower Glenelg/Discovery Bay National Parks and Ramsar site. It is a high value tourism site with spectacular views of the estuary and adjacent wetlands. The area is, in parts, heavily infested with woody weeds which detracts from its potential ecological and educational value.
This project seeks to follow-up and expand prior weed work. Educational values will be enhanced in a new take on a disused “Nature Walk” using a download-able audio guide.
We’ll keep you posted on progress.
This project is supported by the Victorian Government through the Coastcare Community Grant program.
