Wallabi Point Coastcare (WPC) faced a major challenge when the Black Summer bushfires of 2019, razed all local vegetation, including a 3.5 hectare stand of critically endangered littoral rainforest.
Wallabi Point Coastcare were proactive in assessing damage, developing strategies and aiding natural recovery. Four years after the fire, assisted natural regeneration has the rainforest in maintenance mode, the ground layer predominantly weed free, midstory and vine populations increasing and the canopy repairing with increased biodiversity.
