LECCA and Lake Wangary School

We have partnered with Lake Wangary School for over two decades, with the students getting hands on with planting at a number of locations including early planting at Mt Dutton, Tadpole Creek (Dutton Bay), and Lake Wangary.

In 2015-16 the students started planting at Greenly Beach. Since 20177 the students have been sowing local native plants for planting at community planting days at Greenly Beach. The whole school and kindergarden takes part (~70 students) to sow more than 3000 seedlings. The plants are grown from local native plant seed collected by  Coastcare volunteers and the seedlings are maintained by coastcare volunteers over the summer during school break.

The seedlings are maintained in a plant nursery on the school grounds.  In 2022 Coastcare received funding to upgrade the nursery irrigation system and install rainwater tanks to capture runoff from the school gymnasium building.
