Bush care work at Pearl Beach

Gosford Council bush care officers have worked with the Pearl Beach Bushcare Group in a joint effort with to remove weeds around the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall and encourage bush regeneration.

Together with local residents, they undertook a "Bush Bash" bushcare day on October 11.

Participants were given a free barbecue lunch for their efforts.

Council bushcare officer Ms Kate Consterdine said the event involved removing weeds and encouraging the regeneration of local native plants which would provide habitat for a range of small birds and mammals.

"This was a great way to get to know neighbours and make new friends in the local community, while at the same time enhancing the scenic beauty of the area."
