Bushcare information day planned

Residents of Patonga have been invited to a Bushcare information day on Saturday, August 4, at the Patonga Progress Hall, Patonga.

The information day will provide information on the dune restoration project, the Hawkesbury Nepean CMA funding/community programs, bush regeneration and bushcare, native plants and how to make your garden "bush friendly", weed identification and the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

The meeting will also include a Bushcare site inspection.

The information day is to be held prior to the Patonga Progress Association meeting.

The Patonga Beach Progress Association said the dune restoration project needed "the support of the Patonga community to be successful".

Residents have been asked to provide feedback to the Progress Association to determine if the project is to proceed or the funds returned to the grant body.

The information day has been organised by the progress association, Gosford Council, the Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment Management Authority and Patonga Bushcare.

For more information, telephone Gosford Council's Bushcare Officer on 4325 8195 or Patonga Progress Association Secretary 4379 1717.

The information day will be held from 11am to 2pm.
