Brighton Sand Dune care

01.11.23

It was a glorious morning to be outdoors for a group of our Year 5 and 6 learners.

Working with the City of Holdfast Bay and volunteers from the Holdfast Habitat Heroes has been a longstanding community project since our inaugural year of 2020.

On this particular visit, the focus was to remove the thistles, ice plants and weedy grasses in hard to reach areas. By removing these weeds this allows local native flora to thrive which supports local fauna such as the stump tail lizards and local native birds such as the hooded plover so they are able to find their food sources more easily.

Caring for Brighton Sand Dunes is a community project close to our hearts at McAuley.
