Over the past four years Manning Landcare has been coordinating bush regeneration works along Browns Creek.
Manning Landcare sourced three years of funding from NSW Environmental Trust to complete stage one of the works on Browns Creek.
In 2016 Manning Landcare was successful to be granted funding for stage two of Browns Creek from NSW Environmental Trust which is now in progress. Stage two covers 1.5km stretch of the Browns creek working down stream from the previous area.
Funding over the three year period enables the bush regenerators to go over the site several times.
“This is such an important aspect to funding which enables bush regenerators to really get on top of weeds and establish native tube stock,” Alison Allan from Manning Landcare says.
The flowering native trees along Browns Creek are now attracting a variety bird life. The trees are supplying a food source and habitat for the birds to strive.
Come along and see for yourself how Browns Creek has transformed from a weed infested area to a native corridor.
“It is the outcomes of a combined effort from several groups that has attributed to the health of the corridor today,” Alison said.
Friends of Crooked Creek (Browns Creek) Landcare group and Taree Landcare group have regular working bees to assist with the maintenance and upkeep of the area.
Manning Landcare is organising a walk along Browns Creek on Wednesday, June 14 at 10am to meet at Musico Park. Rod Rixon and his team will be there to explain the transition of project.
This will be an opportunity for the community to inspect the native vegetation and the bird life along Browns Creek.
