Group convenor: Bob Whiteman
Group leader Bob Whiteman has been working this area since 1990. In the early days Bob teamed with the late Bob Wilson to whom the site is dedicated. The Bob Wilson site adjoins Yoorala Street East upstream at Coorumulling Park and Nicholas Park downstream at Riaweena Street. For more than a kilometre at this site, Enoggera Creek is rocky and meandering with steep banks adjoining mown parkland. The group planted the higher banks above the rocks with more than 8000 native species. Now the site is maturing rainforest. While weeds remain a threat, there is significant natural propagation of native plant species along this section of the creek. The focus has become in-fill planting of shade-tolerant species to increase plant diversity.
The Bob Wilson bushcare site is supported by the Brisbane City Council Habitat Brisbane program. For more information phone Bob Whiteman on 07 3300 6585.
