Bushcare on this site began with in 2005 with a large community planting involving local residents and Ithaca Creek State School students.
The Lugg Street Bushcare Group was restarted in 2018 by Murray Oke, continuing the work done on the site in previous years along a section of Ithaca Creek in Red Hill. The focus is the removal of invasive and exotic vegetation species and their subsequent replacement with native and endemic species. The goal is to improve the local vegetation mosaic to provide further foraging, nesting, shelter and roosting sites for local fauna. It will also improve the resilience of the creek bank through erosion prevention and further enhancing the riparian corridor.
This bushcare site is supported by the Brisbane City Council Habitat Brisbane program. For more information, please contact the group leaders at lugg.st.habitat@outlook.com or you can find the group on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Luggstbushcare.
