LMCC currently mows a two-meter strip regularly and in the process spreads exotic grass seeds …weeds, into the foreshore plant community that landcarers are caring for. This planting will do away with the need to mow this strip and the attractive red-tinged tufts of Themeda grasses will wave in wind and replace the exotic grasses in a 200m long buffer strip.

Themeda triandra-Kangaroo Grass |
Themeda is an attractive grass which can also be used as an ornamental in rockeries, as part of a native habitat garden or can be grown in a more formal garden for its interesting colour and texture. It currently grows in Gurranba reserve and gets to about 1m in height.
Coal Point Public School students will be lending a hand with the planting on Friday 25th July and on Sunday 27th July the community planting will occur from 10am-noon with planting and mother-of-millioning.
