Leader Anne Jones said the group was grateful Walton Bridge was included in the Enoggera Creek restoration project organised by Healthy Land and Water in conjunction with Save Our Waterways Now.
“In the aftermath of the 2022 floods, the initial clean-up work was carried out by Brisbane City Council contractors. A year down the track, it became apparent that clearing the creek junction was beyond the capacity of volunteers.
“Having the Wirrinyah crew has made a huge difference. They were able to break up the woody debris, cut back vines and re-establish access to the junction for the volunteers.
“Now the bushcare group will be able to replant the area,” Anne said.
