Preparing for a greener future

This week and month, our dedicated team and volunteers are working tirelessly to prepare the ground for future planting. We're focused on clearing out invasive weeds and non-native tree species to make way for the vibrant return of indigenous plants and trees. This crucial step ensures a healthy foundation for Rosecamp's native ecosystem to thrive once more.

Our vision for what's next

Looking ahead, our main goal for the coming months is to commence large-scale native planting. We aim to introduce a diverse range of indigenous trees and plants, carefully selected to restore the ecological balance of the Rosecamp Foreshore Reserve . Our efforts will focus on creating thriving habitats for local wildlife and enhancing the natural beauty of the area for everyone to enjoy. We are also planning educational workshops to engage the community further in conservation.

Jacaranda Track restoration

We have recently conducted a survey of local residents and are delighted at the response.60 local residents have responded to the survey all of whom advocate emphatically for the reopening of this important access to Charcoal Bay.

We have handed the results of this survey to two North Shore councillors at a recent meeting with the FORFoR group.We also learnt at this meeting that the Jacaranda Track restoration has a timeline with 2028/29 before funds are allocated to finance its restoration for safe use by the public.

But the Council now knows how important it is for our community to have access to Charcoal Bay .

"It's inspiring to see the transformation of Rosecamp. The dedication of the volunteers is truly making a difference for our community and environment."
