Community Weeding Morning 24th May

Join this community Weeding Morning to help protect and restore our local sand dune environment.

This is a great way to get up close to our local environment, learn more about these special places and play your part in protecting them.

This event is hosted by Semaphore Largs Dunes Group and Taperoo Dunes as part of the Coastal Sand Dune Rehabilitation Project. This project is supported by Green Adelaide and the City of Port Adelaide Enfield.
 
We hope lots of community members will come along and lend a hand.

Please register to attend this FREE community session so we can manage event attendance.

School groups, local businesses, corporate groups and community groups are welcome to attend as a group. Please check in with event organisers to find out more (email semaphoredunes@gmail.com).

Children: This event is aimed at adults, but older children are welcome to attend (we suggest 12 and over). As we will be working in a sensitive environment we don't feel these events are suitable for younger children. If you are bringing older children along please book them a ticket, and note that all children must be accompanied by a guardian and be appropriately supervised at all times.

Meet at the southern end of the Taperoo dunes carpark on Lady Gowrie Drive (opposite Fort Largs).

Detailed instructions will be emailed to registered participants the week before including the meeting location, contact numbers, what to bring, weather, safety and other requirements for the day.

About the Coastal Sand Dune Rehabilitation Project

The Coastal Sand Dune Rehabilitation Project is a volunteer driven project covering the stretch of coast between Semaphore and North Haven, plus heading inland to
Biodiversity Park. The project contributes to the maintenance, restoration and enhancement of the coastal dune system and Biodiversity Park on LeFevre Peninsula and has been running since 2021. The aim of the project is to increase biodiversity through re-vegetation, weed and pest control, and to create a coastal and coast to river biodiversity link over time.

This project is fostering community involvement and connections, while helping people to learn about and contribute to their local environment.
