Group convenors: Renee McGlashan and Ed Bennett
Restoration in the Yoorala Street area was begun in 1996 by Athol Brown. With Athol’s retirement as group leader, Renee McGlashan and Ed Bennett began convening the group in 2020. The group has continued to restore the riparian corridor along Enoggera Creek, with major weed removal efforts performed in conjunction with BCC staff, to connect the habitat between the Yoorala Street West and Watercress Farm bushcare groups.
Yoorala Street West is one of the six bushcare sites which comprise The Gap Rainforest Project. See The Gap Rainforest Statement of Significance PDF here. Yoorala Street West is supported by the Brisbane City Council Habitat Brisbane program.
Yoorala Street West meets every second Friday morning. For more information please contact Renee & Ed at: yooralastreetwest.bushcare@gmail.com. Follow the group’s activities on their Facebook page.
