Peregian Beach Community Association has confidence the future of our coastal dunes is in good hands after Noosa Pengari Steiner school Year 11 students joined them last week for weeding and native planting.
“And this is not a token effort,“ a PBCA spokeswoman said.
“Teacher Peter Dick has had a long involvement with PBCA and our bush care guru Rochelle Gooch.
“This is part of their Coastal Management Studies and the student have been keen to learn more of the practical processes involved in protecting our dunes and the habitat they support.“
Peter said his students really understood that the vital dune system wasn’t healthy and resilient by accident.
“It takes knowledge and constant work by community groups like PBCA,“ he said.
“The students will be back to check on the tube stock leptospernums and banksia ameulas they helped plant.“
Rochelles and other regular bush carers were delighted to see this generation personally invested in understanding our coastal eco-system.
