EEC in danger

A big thank you to Arthur who detected smoke early one morning and discovered a smoldering log in the Carey Bay Wetlands. He alerted firefighters who extinguished the fire, which had been deliberately lit.

An additional threat has come from the destruction of mature trees and the building of camps and structures in the Carey Bay Wetland area. Landcarers have been working hard to protect this Endangered Ecological Community, making it a pleasant place for all, but their good work is being undone and creating safety issues.

These threats are a risk to the bushland and the homes nearby. Items retrieved from the ‘camp site’ include spade, hammer, lighter and backpack, which have been reported to the Ranger.

The landcare crew are very grateful to a mystery mower-person for again cutting the grass alongside the Scout hall…it looks fantastic.
