In the heart of Townsville, where backyard creeks wind through suburbs to the coast, Coastal Dry Tropics Landcare Inc have had boots in the mud and hands in the soil for over 30 years.

A dedicated team of green thumbs have been on a mission to restore Magnetic Island’s native vegetation, stabilise creek banks and enhance soil health to minimise erosion and control sediment.

Envite Environment is leading a project to improve turtle nesting conditions on Magnetic Island.
