Revegetation Activities

Healthy native plants

/ 3 / 3

We are a not-for-profit, community group, dedicated to conservation and revegetation activities in the Townsville region. We run a native plant nursery and several community revegetation sites around Townsville.

Everyone is welcome. You can volunteer at the plant nursery or participate in tree planting, watering, weed removal and site care. You will learn new skills, have fun, make new friends, and best of all, help your local community and natural environment.

Revegetation

Activities

Revegetation is all about the rehabilitation of a native plant community from a degraded to a healthy state. This involves controlling weeds and other threats, and re-establishing, enhancing and protecting native flora and fauna. CDTLI has many revegetation sites all around Townsville where you can join the activities.
