School project to regenerate native bushland
Umina Beach Public School has received funding for a Landcare bush regeneration project for the bushland at the south end of the school.
"Two of our Year 5 classes will be taking part in the project focussed on cleaning and regenerating the natural bushland on the south end of our school," said relieving principal Mr Chad Tsakissiris.
The students will also look at local ecological issues around the area.
"Students will participate in the four-week program with our local bushcare supervisor Ms Suzie German," he said.
The Parents and Citizens Association was responsible for securing the funding and coordinating the project.
The association planned to remove rubbish from the area yesterday, Sunday, March 7, as part of Clean Up Australia Day.
"We're removing rubbish ahead of the school's bush regeneration project," said association project co-ordinator Ms Penny Jope.
